Welcome, Audrey Kate

This afternoon I was able to meet the newest member of our family- Audrey Kate Boyett. My cousin, Jessica, and her husband, Franklin, welcomed Audrey into the world around 9:30 last night. As you can clearly see, she is a beautiful little girl and we are happy to have her with us (finally).

Harvest Run 5K

I just returned home from running my first 5K of this fall season. I was a little worried because I had not run on a road since the Swamp Run last March. I have been running on the treadmill, though, so I knew that I was in decent shape. Well, I am pleased to report that not only did I achieve a new personal best time (about 27:42), but I also placed second in my age division. This is the first time that I have ever won anything for running. I know that it's silly, but I am so proud of my little trophy. Winning it actually makes me just want to train harder and run more. Brian and the kids didn't get to go because it was a night race (and the race took place during the FSU game), but they were all waiting for me when I got home. When I walked in they all yelled "Good job, mommy". How sweet!

Guitar Heroes

We're not big video game players around here. That being said, Brian brought a game home from work last weekend that we have all been enjoying. It's called Guitar Hero 5, and two players can "play" a guitar along with different rock-n-roll songs. Usually, the players are Brian and I while Owen and Olivia are the "back-up dancers". Tonight, however, Olivia took a guitar and joined the band. (Well, the guitar wasn't plugged in, but she didn't know that). Could this be the beginning of a lucrative career as a family band? Probably not, but it is still a lot of fun to play.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

...It's Super-Owen.
