Most people are using Mozilla with IE close behind
Not surprisingly, more than 90% of readers are using a Windows OS
I know most people don't care about this kind of stuff, but I've always loved random stats!

Isaac's 12th Birthday!
Ok, so it was yesterday, but I was gone all day and didn't have the energy to post at midnight!
12 years ago my first born and only birth son was born. After 84 hours (yes that's hours) of labour, a screaming 8lb 10oz baby made his way into the world.
*Again Note: There's a few years missing where we lost our entire harddrive. Also, pardon the pics of pics*

Triathlon Changes
With only a little over a month to go, we now find out the route has changed for the run and bike portion of the race. So we have new routes to memorize. *roll eyes*
Bit of news though.... now my niece is joining us for training and will be taking part in the triathlon too! Like the fun run they did over the weekend, they won't be in the same age group this year, but at least they get to train together.

Brianna's 1st Race
Today Brianna did her first race with her cousins. We only found out about it on Thursday, but Brianna was all excited to do it and when her cousins found out about it, they wanted to join her too! Brianna thought it would be great practice for her triathlon next month, of course, I agreed!
Now Brianna's a sprinter. She's super fast for short distances, she's not really good at endurance for longer distances, we're working on it. Today's race was 1.25km (.77 miles). We've powerwalked 3km on a fairly regular basis, but never ran anything more than a quarter km.
So we discussed how it was not important that she came in first place. It wasn't even important if she came in last place. If she was tired, she could walk. As long as she finished.

Wilderness Wednesday
So sorry for the lack of Wilderness Wednesday post yesterday! I'm in the middle of all 3 of the younger kids birthdays (yup, all 3 of my birth kids are this month, the 5th, 16th and 19th).
We don't have a Nature Study to report today because of all the craziness, but the linky is open for anyone else to report! While I may not get a chance to comment on all Wilderness Wednesday posts, I DO read them all :)
