On Saturday, Christine decided to go for a little run....her first 10K. Maybe she didn't go as far as Forrest, but we're proud of her anyway. She ran in the Fort4Fitness race in downtown Fort Wayne. You can click on the link to see her results, just search by last name. She and friends Richelle and Michelle did the race together and all did really well. Next up, the Detroit half marathon next month. We'll be cheering her on at that race too!
It's been a while since we've updated, so I'll give a little snapshot of what we've been up to. Besides Christine's running, the kids are also doing athletic extracurricular activities this fall. A couple weeks ago, Sydney tried out and made the SWAC swim team. This is the same competitive team that Spencer is on. Syd is in the Betta Fish group and Spencer has moved up to Barracuda (there are difft levels of the team, each getting higher in the food chain...see the link for info). They both love it and are very good swimmers. We'll be sure to update the blog with their swim meet results this fall.
Spencer will also be doing a kids triathalon next weekend. It consists of a 25m swim, 1 mile bike ride and 1/4 mile run. He's looking very forward to it, especially the swimming and biking. The run is just one lap around the track at the local middle school, so he should be okay. We'll try to update after that one too.

Along with swimming, Spencer is also playing flag football again. His team, the Jets, is struggling this year with a record of 1-2, but this week's win showed lots of improvement and we're hoping more wins will come. Next year, he'll be eligible to play PAL football, the tackle league for 4th grade and up.
The kids have also started French lessons after school one day a week. They had the option of Spanish, French and Chinese. So happens that the French was offered at their elementary school right after school and we wouldn't have to cart them somewhere else for the other languages (the other languages were each at a different elementary). It's only been one week, but they both seem interested.
That's all for now. We'll try to stay on top of updates a little more often. We know the summer came and went without many updates, but who wants to sit inside and type on a computer anyway!
