So, despite there being no updates for a VERY long time...we have been busy! Fall in Northern Virginia is a crazy place. School starts and it is off to the races. Time passes and before you know it there is snow in the forecast. I think things have accelerated too because I am working. I enjoy my job and it still isn't "work" so that is good. Although there are days that I really like quiet it still isn't work.
New this year Addison decided to give Cross Country a try. She is really good at running and really is the type to excel at individual sports. A soccer ball being kicked toward her and a whole bunch of people running her way wouldn't be considered fun for her! We are lucky enough to live in a place that offers every single sport at every single level. So this fall she has been involved in FPYC (Fairfax Police Youth Club) Cross Country. There were over 200 participants at two locations. Addison seemed to like the practices more than the meets. The meets tended to be less social and more all about business. Since we have the most social girl in all of Fairfax County practice is where she had fun! Her distance for her age group was the 2K. She was one of the youngest in her age group but did well. We learned lots of important things like trying your best and teamwork!

Her best time was at a freezing cold meet where it was raining....I think she just wanted to be DONE! I don't blame her...I don't run in the rain either!!!
Running in the Rain!! But it was her best time! A little extra motivation I guess!!
