Kevin's 12-hour race

Hangin' with Daddy in between laps
This is her new "smile"
Kevin finishing his last lap
Our lazy pets
On Saturday, Kevin did the 12-hour race at Bradbury mountain as part of a 4 man team with his friends, Bill, Aaron, and Chris. Mid morning, Calia and I headed up to watch/support him. We left and went to lunch, then home for naps, then back up for the night cap. Calia loved hanging out, especially wince her friend, Henry (Aaron's son who turned 2 last April) was there. Alison (Henry's mom) is due with their second early Decmeber, so Henry was getting Calia pumped up to be the big sibling. Probably the funniest moment of the day was when we were waiting for Kevin ot finish is last lap. Calia and I were standing by the finish line and other bikers were coming in, to the applausse of the small crowd still gathered at 6:45pm. All of the sudden Calia announces "Hiya's turn" and runs down the finishing stretch with her arms above her head. The crowd clapped and you'd have thought she won the Boston Marathon by how much she was beaming.

Just eatin' grapes


Children's Museum

With the long winter looming in the not so distant future, we decided to get a family membership to the Chldren's Museum in portland. Calia has been the numerous times, and loved it everytime. This past Saturday, we headed out to meet the Nelson and Braun families at the Museum. Calia was all over the place.
Colorful girl, ready to go.
I could be....a mechanic...
a vet...
a tree climber...
(BTW, she mastered this tree which was for ages 4 and up,
that's our monkey)

or a rock climber (with a spot from Daddy)

Baby Browne age 10 weeks

He/She is upside down.
That's the head to the left,
the two "nubs" are arms,
and the torso is on the right.
He/She was moving their arms and legs like a fanatic.
The tech said she'd never seen a 10 week old so active.
As Kevin puts it, we're screwed!
