October and November 2015

Where has the time gone? This year is almost over? The last 2 months have FLOWN by! We have had a very busy October and November.
The biggest thing that happened in October was our sweet Biggie Molls took a very simple spill...in the grass... and broke her humorous. Something that didn't look that bad, turned into emergency surgery to put pins in her elbow. It was quite a week, but she is SO tough! We even ended up at a cabin the very evening of her all day surgery. Bright orange cast and all, she wasn't going to miss the annual cabin trip with her cousins! 3 weeks later, the cast was history and she is back to her crazy, adventurous self!

We also finished up Lacrosse season! Daddy LOVED coaching Emma's team. Emma learned a lot and Kate even got in there to sub at times when they were low on players! It was an exciting fall season and went fast! Looking forward to the spring!

Kate continues to enjoy gymnastics, and has been invited to join the gymnastics team beginning in January. It is like an "intro to team" level - where she gets comfortable competing and learning different skills. She is excited for this new challenge!

Molly has started ballet - and she is enjoying it very much (even though deep down inside she is a major Tom Boy at heart). We will see if this continues, or she trades her ballet slippers in for cleats like her daddy and sister!

We had some really fabulous trips this fall: Chattanooga with the girls for their first FALL BREAK! What a blast it was! Mike and I also enjoyed a trip to Indianapolis to see favorite friends and to celebrate a wedding too! We acted as though we were right back in college (We paid for that for a while!!)

We loved our time at the cabin with the whole Duche Family in October. We went to a new place, Big Canoe and it was BEAUTIFUL! We had wonderful weather, loved being together, watching our football teams, and having family pictures made! The only problem was it was too short!

We also enjoyed our time in Sunset Beach over Thanksgiving! The whole Barratt Clan was together which was extra special! We had family lacrosse games, lots of cousin love, we ran around the beach, and enjoyed and indulged on Gramma B's Thanksgiving meal!

Now onto the holiday season! Enjoy every second with family and friends! Our door is always open!
