Shoes

Dennis continues to try to put on his shoes and just doesn't have the coordination to do it yet... so, in the mean time- He puts on mine~

crazy fun

We are having a hoot with Dennis... you can see why- he is just so darn cute.

Wednesday was Veteran's day and so I got to stay home from school. Luckily for Dennis, it was beautiful weather for a trip to the playground. We don't have any trees on our end of the block so Dennis' first encounter with the leaves was then. HE LOVED THEM!!

Here are some videos of other fun stuff we did at the park. This was 4 days ago now and Dennis is already walking soo much better now.

I am sure glad that his desire to help around the house hasn't changed!

He is even cute when he whines.

notice the garbage can ontop of the piano and Dennis's "toy" from the recycling. :)

Want to go for a walk?

THICK

Webster's Dictionary:
thick (thik) adj. 1. of relatively great extent from side to side 2. measured between opposite surfaces 3. close and abundant 4.viscous 5. dense 6. husky; hoarse; blurred 7. stupid

You can imagine my reaction when one of my students said, "Mrs. Funk and I are getting thick".
With some clarification from the class I guess calling someone thick is a good thing and means that you have weight where you want it (where guys like it). hmm... news to me.

lets add one-
8. voluptuous

The Monster Dash!

Also, on Halloween my brother Randy, My mother-in-law Maree, and Ryan and I ran in the Monster Dash half marathon in Minneapolis around lakes Harriet and Calhoun-it was beautiful.

Ryan had a good race... though he didn't train, he got really good time.

My race on the other hand was disasterous. Ok. So, I didn't train as much as I should have either... but my biggest problem was me knee. I knew it wasn't going to be a good race when my knee started killing me at mile 1~ I ran through it... though it hurt the whole way! And, my time was way better on the full marathon that I ran 3 years ago than this half. But all in all it was fun... and I finished the race under 3 hours! wahoo!

Here is my beautiful family.
