The girls played on the same soccer team this fall. It was Bridgette's first time to play and she did great!
We enjoyed an evening with Uncle Tim while he was in town!
Making music together

A joint effort in learning my recipe for chocolate chip cookies
We had an unusually warm day. Our girls and their neighbor friends decided it was the perfect opportunity to set up their first lemonade stand.
Cheers! A complete success for these sweet friends.
A field trip to the Museum of the American Indian to learn more about the Cherokee Trail of Tears.
A highlight of the month was a special surprise from G-Daddy and Grammy Deb! The kids had no idea they were coming! We were grateful they made us their final stop in a New England tour.
Trying out a new frisbee game with G-Daddy
Happy Birthday Ryan!!
A fun Sunday afternoon outing to an apple orchard with friends from our church small group
She was committed to getting the good apples way up high!
Ryan came up with creative way to rig the ladder so I could paint the stairwell!
We hosted friends for Halloween, joining for dinner and then sending the kids out to trick-or-treat with the dads while the moms passed out candy. Bridgette as "Dorothy" with her friend, "Toto". =)
Dorothy, Wendy (from the fast food restaurant!), and Boba Fett
Gretchen was a bit disgruntled that everyone thought she was also dressed up as Dorothy, but the mounds of candy made up for the initial disappointment!
The aftermath of candy trading in our living room!
