-We celebrated my Dad's birthday

-All the kids had glowing reports at parent teacher conferences

-Lexi continues her Mandarin tutoring with Lexus once/week

-Nate and I saw the show Water for Elephants 

-My school did a fundraiser for our new social emotional dog, Georgia. The fundraiser was Puppies and Pilates and Lexi was in love.

-Nate, Julia and Isaac went to a GVSU football game. GVSU is trying to woo Isaac, so they gave him some free tickets.

-For HC's fall break, Stephen and Lexi flew to Charleston by themselves. They had a connection in DC, which was the more nerve wracking part for me. It wasn't their favorite part of the trip either. Their airline escort was a very old woman who did not speak much English and who took them to a remote office in the airport to wait. Stephen asked if they could buy some food, so she did walk them to a restaurant. Lexi said she was scared the lady was going to kidnap them. I told her, well at least you knew you could outrun her?! They had a great time with Steph and her boys. My parents were already in Charleston, so they drove Stephen and Lexi back home. 

-Nate went up north with Caleb and Isaac for a long weekend. Nate's co-worker let them borrow his cabin. They enjoyed cooking on the blackstone, playing games, going for a hike and just relaxing. 

-Lexi went trick or treating with the neighbors and Stephen went with some friends. I gave our candy to the neighbors to pass out and Nate and I went out to eat with friends!
