LONG TIME NO BLOG
and several random facts

I have had so much free time on my hands since the boys have been in school. Let me digress.....free time......hmm I mean more time to train, clean, cook, and other things leaving me with no time at all to blog.

Good news though, Rendy, Clara, and Bre are coming for a visit next week. I am so excited and can't wait. Hopefully the leaves will be in full color when they are hear and that will take her mind off of how chilly the air is. Actually, it's not that bad. We are experiencing what Fall weather should feel like. It's cold today, but will be in the 80's by Friday. It's so unpredictable.

Riley has his first photo shoot for the Manhattan Toy Company. He got chosen out a of large number of children. I'm so excited for him. We meet at a marketing firm tomorrow. Stay tuned for what's to come of it. .........The phone just rang and the boys go on the 11th for another casting call with a local publishing company. Wow...who knew.

Things are falling more and more into place in Apple Valley. The boys are doing well and have many new friends. I have met a few women and have found myself pounding the pavement even more so now by foot or wheel. This is such a flipp'n healthy state we live in and I feel like I must stay on top of things. Sammy and Daddy are running a 1 mile fun run this weekend during the Twin Cities Marathon. Sam ran a fun run last week while Pete ran a Target sponsored 5K. So much fun! Riley and I had puppy duty and enjoyed watching from the sidelines.

Gosh...again, I am so happy that Rendy is coming. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
I wish she could bring all of you with her. I so miss seeing all of you and hearing about what's going on in your lives. Thank goodness for blogs, please keep posting.

I had the same kind of moment as I was typing my blog. I can't wait!
Are you excited about the Mall of America??????? Minnesota has so many places to visit and see. We have a great Pompeii exhibit at the museum that would be worthy of seeing.
