Piano Recital
Lindsey and Natalie have been taking piano lessons for the past few months. Tonight they were part of a Christmas recital to show off their new skills. The purpose of the recital was to give the kids experience playing their song while an audience was singing along with them. A very daunting task! They both did great and we were very proud of them.

Pueblo Half Marathon
I had a great time at this race. My doubts were plentiful going into it, with weather being at the top of the list. Forecasts called for 3-4 FEET of snow in the mountains, and generally cold and wet conditions for us down below. I debated about whether it would be worth getting up early and making a two hour drive just to run 13 miles in a cold and wet mess. I’m so glad I ended up going.
Castle Rock Turkey Trot 5k
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today we got up early and drove down to Castle Rock to run in a 5k race. It was cold!!! I think 18-19 degrees at the start. The route was all on a bike path with lots of twists and hills. Elizabeth pushed Jessica in the stroller with Natalie by her side, Malcolm and Lindsey stuck together, and I gave it a go towards the front. There were about 700 people that participated raising around $12,000 for our county food bank. It was a lot of fun, and now we all have matching shirts!
