Long time, no write

During the month of October...

Mary visited!  Best part of the month.  She's so stylish!

Elizabeth hung out with friends, including Anderson.  She went to the Bea Miller/Christina Perri/Demi Lovato concert and afterward tweeted a comment about it, which was then retweeted by Bea Miller herself!

Steven built shelves and a bench (with a place for the dogs to stay underneath) in our laundry room!

Karyn spoke at the GC inauguration!  And attended a by-invitation-only Alison Lundergan Grimes rally (her younger sister Ashley was a student of mine in multiple classes a decade ago)!

Michael made the middle school basketball team!  His coach challenged him to a free throw contest, best of 7 shots.  His coach made 6 of 7....and Michael made 7 of 7!  He scored at the 98th percentile on a national standardized math test and has been invited to take the ACT/SAT during his 7th grade year!

So many exclamation points!  Life must be good!!!
