Dashing Through the Rain?

Well, we kicked off Thanksgiving day with the Drumstick Dash in Broad Ripple.  Andy, myself, my mom, and Andy's sister Sara headed to the race at about 7:30 am.  The race started at 9 am and followed a 4.5 mile course through the streets of Broad Ripple.  There were some interesting costumes and lots of people (over 9,000).  Andy finished in about 35 minutes with the gals coming in a bit behind that - we were walking!!  While all this walking/running was happening, Cal was kicked back at home with Papa Stephen.  The plan is for Cal to join us in his stroller next year.  I can tell that he's really looking forward to it.
After the race, Andy, Sara, Cal, and I packed up the car (oh my it was full!) and headed to Berne.  It was a full house - Ben/Dianna, Joe/Jackie/Grant, Jane/Gene, Grandma/Grandpa, Milly/Byron, Sara, and of course, Andy/Cal/myself.  Everyone gathered for a great meal with all the trimmings.  Unfortunately, all Cal was able to eat was his yucky old formula.  He did, however, show off his fabulous Thanksgiving bib. Cal got to meet his cousin Grant for the first time and they seemed to hit it off.  By the time I grabbed my camera, Grant had managed to race away (he's moving fast these days) but I'll post a pic when I get one from Milly.

  2. He changes by the day it seems. He spends more time awake/alert without crying these days.
