Fall Fun
We started out with a cool fall (!!!), but the temperatures have been up in the 70s this past week. Crazy! We’re enjoying this weather, though. Definitely beats the 100-degree summer temperatures!
The girls have had fun in the backyard playing in the trees and using their imaginations. They made a little home in an area behind a bunch of trees. I still don’t know where this is in our yard. Haha!!
“Enter” and “Exit out” signs
L-o-v-e this sign. “Fall! season” - I guess they wanted to clarify what they meant by “fall.”

Mom took the girls on a field trip to the police department a few days ago. They had a good time together with a group of other people.

At the music school where I work, we have something called Ministry Night where we go to a retirement home and have the students put on a recital for the residents there. The October concert went wonderfully and the people loved it!! Look forward to the November and December recitals.
Toward the end, I asked Christina (teacher and my boss) if she wanted to play something together for fun. She was all for it, so we sat down and just played a few hymns and requested songs by ear. It was so.much.fun. I think the people watching got a kick out of how much fun WE were having!
Missy and Marianna also played their instruments.
It’s as big as her!!

We went to a Bible study cook-off event a couple weeks ago, where we all competed with main dishes and desserts. The theme was pizza and pieces. It was fun seeing everyone’s creativity!
What fascinated me was that there was only ONE “regular” pizza. Everything was SO different. And super delicious!!
We made the Mexican “Fiesta Pizza.”
The desserts were great too! My favorite was the crossword puzzle cheesecakes. We made the “3-piece delight.”

Love catching up with friends!! Renee (middle) is moving from Raleigh to Asheville with her husband and son soon and was in Charlotte for a weekend, so we met for dinner one of the evenings and had an incredible time. So thankful for godly (and fun…and hilarious!!) friends.

I took the girls on a field trip a few weeks ago to Reed’s Gold Mine.
Panning for gold. Marianna actually found a tiny piece!
Going into the mine
Friends from church
We went on a whirlwind trip to NJ and NYC last weekend. Our cousin got married and we visited some family while we were in the area. We started out in the NJ mountains and ended in the city. Will eventually get pictures up from that (the wedding place was GORgeous), but it will take a while to go through all of them!
We’re waist-deep in birthday celebrations. We celebrated Dad’s birthday yesterday and are celebrating Jennifer’s tomorrow. Then Mom’s and Bethany’s next week! Looooooots of unhealthy stuff going on here at our house.
