Richie's at Oktoberfest right now. He comes home tomorrow. Today they had a table under the tent for about 4 hours. That's a really long time when your're getting beers by the liter!

I packed up all four kids and took Elee to Taewondo and Josiah to his soccer game. Josiah's team lost but Josiah scored the only goal on his team...1-3. Another $5 for Josiah. We told him we'd give him $5 for every goal he scored. He's already earned $25 in just 3 or 4 games! Last game he scored three goals! He really had enjoyed playing now that he is on an American team. I'm glad he's really into and wants to go to practice and to the games. Elee is doing really well in Taekwondo. Last week, Master Seo told Richie, "Elee good boy". That was really cool to hear from the instructor. I've never seen Elee sit so still like that for 5 minutes doing nothing. He's always wanted to do some sort of marital arts. Because he wants to be there, I think this will be great to help him learn self control and discipline in a fun way.

Tonight, Elee has his first sleepover at Liam, Finn and Jack's house. Him and Josiah were so excited to go. We are going over to their house tomorrow to hang out so it works out perfect.

I ran 4 miles the other day. I did 1 mile of serious up hill action. Then another mile of slight uphill. The last two miles were downhill. It was a good workout. I will run 10 miles tomorrow and then the marathon next weekend. WOW! Dad and Deb will be here next weekend too. We are looking forward to that very much!
