We Love Fall!!!
Fall is certainly here. The temperatures have gradually gotten cooler and the sun has been a little later arriving in the morning and a lot earlier leaving in the evening. The Rogers family has been busy wrapping up its fall activities in anticipation of a very busy holiday season.
Cameron finished up his soccer season with a bang last weekend. With Grandma and Aunt Stacey in attendance, Cameron decided he would light up the other team with 2 goals!! We were so proud of him. Of course, being the great parents we are, we didn't have the video camera on to capture the momentous occasion so I'll try to give you a description. The first goal he scored from about 5 yards out on a nice pass from a teammate. The second goal happened when the opposing goalie punted the ball out to midfield. It came right at Cameron and he put up a beautiful shot just over the outstretched goal keeper's arms. Good stuff for U-8 soccer.
This past weekend, I completed the Columbus half marathon. It was my 6th half marathon that I have completed and I recorded my second best time!!! I can honestly say that I ran with a smile on my face the entire time. It was a fantastic race and was made even better that I got to start out with 2 good friends. We all finished at different times but it was awesome to have the camaraderie at the start line. It was also amazing to have Stuart and Noah there to cheer me on. They managed to catch me at mile 9 and again at the finish line. I cannot describe the feeling I had when I turned the final corner and could see the finish line. There were hundreds of people lining the finish chute and somehow I still got to see my amazing husband and sweet Noah cheering me on to finish hard. It was amazing!!!
Speaking of Noah, he is a man on the move these days. He is now walking most of the time. I find it hard to believe how much joy that child gives me. Watching him learn to walk has been hysterical. He waddles around like a drunken old man and is just so darn proud of himself. He had his 15 month check-up today. He is weighing in at 23 lbs. 9 oz. and is almost 30 inches long. He's in the 10th percentile for height, 30th for weight, and 75th for head circumference. How quickly he has grown!!!
We have lots of fun events coming up. This weekend, Stuart and Cameron are camping with the Boy Scouts at Camp Lazarus. Aunt Stacey is coming over to hang out with Noah and I while the other boys are away. The next week is Halloween and we'll be in Indy for a friend's wedding. Then, before you know it, the holiday season is upon us and we'll all be in Washington stuffing ourselves at Grandma Gill's house!!! Our camera has been on the fritz so we're gonna work on getting that fixed and then hopefully I'll have some pictures/videos to post on here.
That's all for now. Enjoy the fall weather!!!
