November - Pre Fiji

As we are off to Fiji on Sat, I thought I'd update the blog before I left so that I can ramble about our first family vacation in the next post!
Not that November so far has not had it's fair share of excitement. We really enjoyed the Presidental election, brought Cliona to the polling station in the morning and then took her to a democratic party that evening to see Obama win! Exciting times - probably the first President Clio will remember.
A couple of weeks later we were in San Diego for Kat and Avery's birthday party and to take part in a 10K mud run. It was lovely to hang out with the Parish-Philps - Avery and Clio had a lot of fun together. They are such great playmates - it's so sweet to see them together.
Gk, Kerry and Dana looked after Cliona so that Stephen and I could meet up with friends and run a 10k mud run. It was so much fun running through mud pools, jumping over bales of hay and getting soaked by fire hoses. The 500ft accent I could have lived without but most everyone walked that part. It was suprisingly easy to run the 10k, probably due to all the distractions - I'm hoping it will be on our calendar every year :)

I posted all the photo's HERE...
