Visit to St. Mary's Hospital
We were fortunate that we have made it over 5 years without any visits to the ER for Elyse. Well, that run ended on monday, when we realized that the back of her earring actually was totallly inside her earlobe and we were not sure how it could be removed. The doctor was shocked that the earring back had totally dissappeared, but then went to work. He shot up her ear with Lydacane (probably spelled totally wrong...) and was amazed that she only said "ouch" a few times without any tears. He then opened up the front earring hole with tweezers and "searched" for the earring back. Finally he got hold of it, and pulled it out, and we were done. We were even happier to find out that it did not appear to be infected, so after a small dose of antibiotics, we were outta there. Elyse was such a trooper... she really is our "tough bunny"!!

All that she has to show from her visit is her hospital bracelet and a steri-strip!!
We are now going to leave the idea of putting in new earrings up to her, when she is ready!
RIDE Cycle Studio
I was given the opportunity to teach at a local boutique Cycling Studio, called RIDE. They have some of the best instuctors, equipment, and location in the area. Here is a link to the website...

Crossfit Christmas Tree
So, this year Lifeforce Crossfit is putting up a christmas tree and they challenged us to make "crossfit ornaments"... and this is what I created - and had a great time doing so!!
puke bucket (more of a joke, but I thought it was fun), barbell, and of course the kettelebell...
Santa Baby!
Eventhough the calendar says December, it just doesn't feel like Christmas until you visit with Santa! We thank our friends, the Haluska family for inviting us again for the "Santa Party". We had a great time and everyone enjoyed their conversation with Santa!!
Merry Christmas from the Reedell gals!!
Elyse wasn't thrilled about Santa saying " you have to be nice to your sister and listen to your mommy and daddy"....
Mommy time with Santa! - Kathi, Megan, Santa, Donna, and Heather

Crossfit Baby!
Because I don't have enough to do, I decided to sign up for Crossfit classes. Crossfit is an incredibly difficult workout, that is never the same twice. It challenges your body in ways you could not even imagine. One day you will be doing running, rowing, and pull ups - all timed of course. The next day you could be doing olympic weight lifting and wall balls. The next day, who knows what!! One of the toughest and my favorite moves is the handstand push up....
These workouts are no joke... but they are great!!
Fun with Friends
Elyse has been enjoying playing with friends before heading to school lately...

Happy Halloween!!
This year Angela was CeCe from the tv show "Shake it Up"... and Elyse was a warrior princess from the Disney movie "Brave" - Princess Merida. They had sooo much fun choosing their outfits, hope you enjoy the pics and have a fantastic halloween!
GO AWAY SANDY!
The entire east coast got slapped by Hurricane Sandy this past weekend. The winds, flooding, and power outages have paralized the entire area. Schools and businesses are slowly opening up again, but people are in the cleanup mindset right now. We were VERY fortunate to not have much damage at all - thankfully. It was a scary storm, but we are happy to say Sandy is outta here!!
visit with Aunt Noel and baby Levi
We headed down to NJ for the day to visit with the Pool family. It was great for the "cousins" to play together and to finally meet baby Levi. We went on a family hayride, picked pumpkins and had a great visit. Can't wait to do it again!
Spin fun... Halloween style!
For the last two years, I have been dressing up for halloween... and this year I outdid myself!! Enjoy the pics!!
Halloween Party Pics
The girls enjoyed a fun halloween party with their friends... bring on the holiday!

here fishy fishy fishy...
We celebrated the girls' day off of school by heading to the Adventure Aquarium - and had a great time.
Nothing better than fall at the shore!
Thanks to the Bartmans' for the use of their beach house. We enjoyed a few beautiful early fall days in OC, NJ after our triathlon. Smiles were constant...
AC Triathlon
Great day for a triathlon in AC. The weather was brisk and we were ready for a 1 mile swim, 20 mile bike, and 10k run. Both Scott and I did great in the race - although becuase I took a "wrong turn" (no thanks to the race director who didn't put good signage out on the course - BOOO) I ended up riding an extra 5 miles, which moved my first place time down to sixth place - double boo. But we both ran some of our best times and overall, had a blast. Don't think we will be doing this race again, because we have our sights on a half ironman for next september... oh yeah!
