Although always too short, we had another great visit with Brennen! Here’s some pics as we headed out for the Christmas celebration with my family and from later that night as a special visitor arrived on Poplar Run!
Tristan’s school put on a Christmas program last Wednesday. His class sang Song of the Angels, Christmas Don’t Be Late, and Silent night, and Tristan was awesome! He certainly didn’t inherit his sweet singing voice from Mommy or Daddy!
Our big news this week was surviving driving to Columbus in the snowstorm yesterday afternoon, then flying to Virginia this morning and back home (all between the hours of 4 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.), then driving home again in the tail end of the snow storm. But it was all well worth it since our trip was to pick up Brennen for the holidays! The flight out to Virginia was Tristan’s 1st ever flight and he loved it (but it might also have had something to do with the cute stewardesses that kept making a fuss over him).
And actually, his first time ever on skates! Tristan and Daddy went to his school skating party last night (momma was still home sick with nasty crud!). They had a great time and Daddy got some great action shots!
Ok, maybe not so ready to go… but ready to hold onto the wall for dear life!
Jeff (one of Matt’s 3 best friends from high school) got married last Wednesday in West Yellowstone, Montana and luckily Matt was able to take time off work and make the trip out. It was a gorgeous fairy tale wedding… unfortunately we have no pictures of the beautiful bride because the camera’s batteries died as she was walking down the aisle. Here are some of the pics we do have.
T.P.C.
Tristan was baptised on Sunday at Precious Blood Catholic Church (where he also attends school). It was a beautiful ceremony presided over by the WONDERFUL Father Bill and attended by 30 family and friends who came to love and support our little angel. It was a really perfect day.

Here are some more pics from the Columbus Marathon and from the Ghosts -n- Goblins run (for race details and original pics, see the posts below).
Elvis made an appearance at the 22nd Annual Ghost N Goblin 5k race in downtown Dayton. This Elvis is really, Matthew Wilmore from Brookville.We are SOOOOOO proud of Tristan! Not only did he run his first 5k last night (the Dayton Ghosts -n- Goblins run), he finished in 36:08, and finished strong! He’s definitely just like his Daddy. It was also my first 5k and I finished in 31:31 and was just happy to have run the whole way. I started a training program with our neighbor Melissa (yay Melissa… her time was an awesome 34:49) 2 few months ago, and we’re so proud to have finished. Before I began training, I had never run a mile, so this feels huge to me. But more than anything, I am proud beyond words of my amazing boy!
YAY Daddy!
Matt finished his second marathon in 3:27 (12 1/2 minutes faster than his Flying Pig time)! We are SO proud of him! He finished 464 out of 3636 entrants putting him in the top 13% (our lucky number). We had a great time in Columbus with our neighbors Stuart and Melissa, and their daughters Emily and Lani (Stuart trained with Matt and also ran the marathon). Here are the pictures we have so far. We’ll update with more as we get them,
Mile 26 – Almost there!
