autumn oranges

/ eating and drinking like crazy /

nyc wine and food festival was a crazy experience - so much food and wine and drinks and nibbles! i like the idea of wine & food festivals, but that was just too big to enjoy properly. my stomach is way too small! another good event to check off my list!

halloween was pretty uneventful, but i did get to hand candy out to my very first trick-or-treaters. all six of them.

i've still been taking noli outside when it is nice! she is getting more bold now and will actually run back and forth chasing leaves.

/ nyc marathon opening ceremony /

reuben walked in the parade for the nyc marathon opening ceremony with his fellow kiwi mates and we were there to cheer him on. it was a quirky event, but the weather was amazing, central park looked great and there were fireworks and fun crowds!

and last but not least, THE MARATHON! it was a fresh and cool day to be spending outdoors, but luckily i didn't have to get outside until nearly noon and by then the sun was out and shining. mom, dad, AD and i cheered reuben on at the 18-mile and the 23-mile mark and despite him saying he didn't feel fantastic, he looked awesome. it was an inspiring event to attend and made me think that maybe i should set some more running goals for next year. we shall see. 

congrats, hubby, you did a great job ;)
