9 & 19

The past few days have been busy!

Tuesday was Sam's 9th birthday. Crazy how fast time flies and how grown-up she seems! Despite the fact that she drives me nuts often (said with love of course 😘), we are lucky to have such a great kid who is a kind, wacky spirit and who makes us smile every day 💗 Happy birthday, sweet Samantha! We love you to the moon and back!

To celebrate, we headed to get sushi and gelato after Mom and Dad took her to swim practice. What can I say, the girl has good taste! 🍣🍧

9 is still goofy 😉

Often overshadowed, and rightfully so, by Sam's birthday is Ryan and my anniversary on the 10th. This year was number 19. Once again, crazy and time flies. Seriously. How was it 19 years ago that we walked down the aisle in front of all our friends and looked so young?! Happy Anniversary, Ryan! May the next 19 years bring more laughter, love, craziness and adventures!

Wednesday afternoon was Sam's last midweek XC meet for the fall season. It was a gorgeous blue sky day but felt like it was August with temps in the low 80s. Warm day for running the fields of Falmouth, that's for sure! Sam had a great finishing kick, passing two girls in the final stretch. Go Sam go!

After the meet, Mom and Dad took Sam out to dinner so that Ryan and I could get in an anniversary date run and dinner out. Thanks Mom and Dad! 💕

We meandered the trails through the fields and woods, taking it nice and easy as the trails were leaf-ridden and it felt like August, not to mention it was both of our first runs back since Farm to Farm on Sunday! A nice little run on a pretty evening. (4.0 miles)

Then it was off to Frontier for dinner and drinks! 🍷🍸Cheers to 19 years!
