The Month of October

It all started warmly with a Shorter Homecoming festival, after which, we ventured across a bridge in Rome that was lighted by the American Flag. What a beautiful night.

 Life was tough for a few weeks when Michael fell off a golf cart, got strep throat, and JD came down with a stomach virus.

 But we bounced back.

 

It got colder! We attended a Shorter football game where Michael loved Harold the Hawk.



 We also went to my mom's school, The Swift School, where they were having a fall festival, complete with festival rides, decorated pumpkins, scarecrows, and catering by the Varsity.

 There was also a playground.

 We went to Euharlee's fall festival, even though it was kinda chilly and rainy.

 And, I went with Michael and his class to a pumpkin patch for his very first ever field trip.

And THAT was the month of October.

Can't Keep Up

Here are some pictures from two weeks ago when we traveled to Birmingham for Stacy's surprise party and then stayed the night with JD's grandparents.

 There were costumes involved.

 Michael when he's forty?

 And have I introduced you to my one-year-old niece, Kiki? Yes, she's a real person, even though she looks like a perfect doll.

Since then, we've had a week of JD out of town, Michael staying with the Ponds for two nights, a case of strep throat, and Michael falling off a golf cart. I'll put up some injury pictures soon. I just can't keep up.
