First Day and more

We are one month in to the 2018-19 school year, and all is going well.  The boys drive to and from school, and that makes me happy.  They drive themselves to and from the Y, and that makes me happy.  They can drive to Walmart to get some groceries for Mom, and that makes me happy.

As always, these pictures do not upload in order and I don't feel like learning how to fix that.

 Eric and I ran the Dick Beardsley Half Marathon in Detroit Lakes Sept 8th.  The course went around both Big and Little Detroit Lake.  It was a little warm, and a little hilly (small, but many elevation changes).  It was a tough course, and I slowed down quite a bit the last 4 miles, but still finished in my goal time.  Eric finished just 45 seconds slower than his Fargo Half time.  He didn't even train.

 One week later we ran the 10K in the Bismarck Marathon.  We both got PRs.  We only have gun times for the race, since the chip reader at the start of the race didn't work.  Good enough

 How many 4.0 16 year olds does it take to change a light bulb?

 Eric is going duck hunting for the first time next weekend.  He went to a shooting clay event with our church group to practice his shooting skills.

 Life goal met for Jonathan!

Megan's best friend moved to Indiana.  We had one last pizza date, then went to the Lewis and Clark Playground.  I bought them matching Braves shirts, too.
