Fun at a cross meet
Magnus and Oliver came to watch Uncle Erik run at Baw Beese Lake the other afternoon. Magnus thought it was lots of fun making faces while up in the tree that Grandpa lifted him into, and Oliver was just having fun being outdoors.
Oliver is a year old!
Sweet little Oliver turned a year old in September. He is so much fun to have around, and I must admit that his "sweet" side is sometimes a bit more of a pistol!! He is so cute I can hardly stand it!
Cross Country
Erik has decided to run cross country this year instead of playing football. I don't blame him for not wanting to play football, but I will never understand why people like to run great distances. Good for him! I am definitely a convert, however. There is something special about cross teams and how they interact with each other and support each other. We had a bon fire the other night and the kids had a terrific time just being teenagers - and they were polite! We will plan an end-of-the-year bon fire later this month if we can find a date that works.
Erik is growing slowly as a runner. As soon as he figures out how to use his body once he has it conditioned he will become a great runner, I think. He needs a little of his sister's killer instinct and a lot of his brother's determination. Right now he is just having fun, which is also worth something.
Erik is also in the band and had a great time parking cars at cousin Nick's wedding this fall.
