Isaac had district championships on Saturday in Olympia. The team did really well and will be going to State again this year. So, Saturday we are headed to Pasco!
Dylan Croeni. Breaking records left and right. He came in first at Districts and is likely to take first at State. He's a gifted runner and an inspiration to Isaac.
A strong finish.
These are the boys that will compete at State next week. They came in 3rd as a team.
Pumpkin patch in Aurora, OR.
For school, Morgan wanted to be a 'vampire rock star' and this is what she threw together.
Parker wanted to be a hobo. He's fairly convincing.
Out of focus, but you get the idea - we were Gilligan's Island.
My favorite this year - Judy.
Marnie and her nemesis.
- Halloween was fun this year - thanks again to Buffy for organizing that and making it happen each year.
- We are staying here for Thanksgiving this year and I've invited my family to come up here. So far, I think my parents and Ray Jr. will make the trip. I think the plan is to ski/snowboard on the Friday after Thanksgiving, if there are other interested parties.
- My job changes dramatically in January. I will no longer work 3 days a week, but only work as 'relief' instead - because they will be fully staffed again. This could mean anywhere from 2-12 days a month, just depends. But it will be much less than I am working now. My family is happy. I am the only one that likes my job. It's just inconvenient for everyone else. Oh well. I am glad to be keeping my foot in the door.
- We head to S.F. next weekend with K&B and Marnie for a dental-related conference, though I imagine the ladies and I will just wander the city and eat good food. Peter & Anne are watching our kids. And I apologize in advance for Morgan's homesickness. I promise not to leave her any notes to find and weep over.
- Gorillaz was amazing - that's all I can say. Whether we are cool parents, or simply irresponsible remains to be seen, but we all had a great time and it was a great night.
More catch up to do...

Warming up.
Dave got a great shot of Dylan - he ultimately came in 2nd - one second behind the Sehome runner to his right.
Another strong finish.
Barb - weary of Kenn's antics.
It was a great day - Isaac had a lot of family support, which he really appreciated. His final time was 17:19 and he finished 90th out of 160+ runners. He thinks he started out too strong, finishing his first mile in 5:03, and winding up exhausted too early. Not too shabby, though, considering he was running among the best in the state. We are really proud of him. It was a good season, and now he gets a bit of a break until Track & Field in Spring.
