This weekend we ran a 5K in our neighborhood. This is the first time Dave has run since his 1/2 marathon in September, the first time I’ve run in about 3 months and Sophie’s first 5K ever! Overall it was a great success. 
It was a little chilly so we had her bundled up well. What a cutie!

Our good friends Erin & Joe had their baby on Friday – Vivian Maria, 8lbs 2ozs. We visited the little peanut today. It’s hard to believe that Sophie was that small (actually, even smaller!).

 Erin looked amazing! I looked more like I had a close encounter with a Mac truck the day I brought Sophie home.

My Pap Pap passed away in June and so that the entire family could say goodbye, the memorial service was held just this past weekend. On Thursday we had a memorial service and reception afterward and on Friday there was a private family burial and then small get together at Nancy & Jim’s house. Although it was a sad occasion, it was also an opportunity to get together with family that we haven’t seen in quite some time. A lot of family members also get to meet Sophie for the first time.
My mom’s stepsister Kelly came with her new baby Pierce. He’s just 3 months old (and obviously very sound asleep!)

My Great Uncle Earl was in love – he was happy to hold Sophie while Dave and I enjoyed visiting with everyone.

Here’s one of Mom and Julia
