In October we attended the wedding of a dear friend who also happens to be one of our favorite teachers.  She was James’s fifth-grade teacher and is now Anna’s History teacher in fifth-grade.  We’ve known her for many years, have been praying about a husband for her, and were delighted to be invited.  It’s been years since we attended a wedding; the last time the kids were very small.  So, they enjoyed seeing what a wedding and reception was all about.  

The two extroverts in the family enjoyed dancing, while the two introverts were ready to go before the dancing even began.  

Look who caught the bouquet! 

October was also the month that Anna signed up for her school’s talent show, picked a song to dance to, choreographed the dance, practiced, auditioned, made it into the show, and performed in the talent show.  Amazing.  We were so proud of her determination and follow-through in handling every aspect of this event.
