A Day in the Life of The Bergs!

Our Cox Farm Adventure

On Wednesday, Liala and I went to Cox Farms with our good friends Hannah and Sienna. I think both Liala and Sienna really enjoyed the outing! I would have to say that Liala's favorite part was the big pen full of about 40 baby goats.
Once inside the pen, Liala had absolutely no fears. She would walk right up to the goats and pet them, and hug them! There was one larger goat who was sitting under the slide in the shade and Liala walked right up to him and kept giving him kisses. The goat did not even budge! It was so cute. I'm glad I was able to get a picture of it!
At this farm, there were big slides that the adults enjoy more than the kids, I think. There were free samples of apple cider (the best I've ever tasted!), and at the end, we got to pick out our own pumpkins to take home.
So enjoy the pictures from our day at the farm!
Daddy comes home from New Jersey to see us today! Even though he'll only be here for the weekend, maybe we'll take him to Cox Farms so he can see how much fun it can be!

He'll be coming round the mountain when he comes...

Ryan has been gone for almost three whole days now, and we miss him terribly. We are looking forward to spending time with him this weekend! For his new job, Ryan will be in training for the whole month of October in New Jersey. He is able to come home on the weekends to see us and take a break from "the classroom". From what he has told us, the training is intense; but he is learning a lot! We are happy that Ryan has been blessed with this opportunity! As for the magazine? The first issue has recently gone out, and we're very excited about it! Next issue, I will be doing graphic design and writing a few articles. Wish me luck! I'm not very familiar with graphic design, but hopefully the Mac will make it easy on me!
We hope you are all doing well!

We've started a new tradition....

At the end of September, we drove to Nags Head with Nana and Grandma for a little beach trip. The purpose? Ryan had a crazy idea that we should run in their Heritage Days 5K. So we did! And we are still alive to tell you about it!
It was my first race, so I was kind of nervous about the whole thing. But Ryan, the seasoned runner that he is, was coaching me about what to do and how to do it leading up to the race. I am happy to say that I finished the race, and I placed 3rd in my age group! Next time, I will work on my time, but for now I'm going to brag about the fact that I even finished!
Did I say "next time"? Yes! I had forgotten about how it makes me feel to be "a runner"! I looked around at all the other runners, and they sure gave me (and Ryan, I think!) some motivation to get going again. So be on the lookout for more posts about races!
