Portsmouth Half Marathon

Charlie runs 20 minutes faster today.

Waiting for Mommy

Here she is!

Maia is 5 minutes behind Sara.

Maia ran the whole race with minimal training and finish line support from Giles.

All together now. Charlie ran the race in under 2 hrs.

Sara said that she felt great and could have kept running.

Happy 2nd Birthday Cally!

Thank you for the lovely party. We all had a ton of fun!
Love,
Mary, Sara, & Harper

now where did I put my glass slippers?

She's not 3, it's one for good luck...haha

Only a 2-year old can pull off a sweater dress...love the diaper butt!

Is this where my other earring goes?

When Cinderella lost her glass slipper on the step she should have taken fashion advice from Harper!

Work-out Cinderella!

Haiku

Here are 2 Haiku I thought up on my way to work today...

Thirty-two degrees

Wind blowing the leaves around

Oh my, it is cold

Wind that chills the bone

The leaves give in to defeat

Please turn on the heat

2nd Annual Oplinger Oktoberfest

The 2nd Annual Oplinger Oktoberfest took place on October 16, 2010. A good time was had by all, a drunk time was had by some...



yea, yea, I'm a little slow getting these pictures up (blame school...)

Aunt Mary pours and tastes the first beer (Uncle Dave's homemade beer)

Maya didn't want her hair ruined by the wind so she is hanging out inside with the ladies.

Hay ride for the kids (Cally in yellow, the girl and boy behind cally are Davy's kids Abigail and Dominic, red hooded sweatshirt is Aunt Janet's daughter Amy's child Logan, and blue hat is Kimmy's son Jacob)

Mark and Cally throwing rocks in the creek.

Happy Halloween!!!

We had such a fun weekend! Mike had the whole weekend off, so it was nice for us all to be together! On Saturday, we went to our friends' annual Halloween party. I was Rachel Zoe, Mike was a guy riding and ostrich (lol!!!), and Cally was happy to wear her Minnie costume again. On Sunday, we carved pumpkins, which was the first time for Mike and I. I remember baking pumpkin seeds one time visiting Aunt Linda, which I wanted to do later... but Mike threw all of the scoopings out!!! lol I walked Cally around our court (in Mike's ostrich costume; I plan on wearing that every year now!!!). Cally got the hang of trick-or-treating; she was too cute. Maya slept in her little cow costume while we were out... dreaming of "candy, candy, candy, candy, candy!"
