The New School Fall Festival

Brodie invited JC to go to the Fall Carnival with him. They had big fun even though
it was an incredibly rainy night and we all got soaked getting to the arena.

The New School Fun Run 2009

Brodie came in second at this year's fun run. Ayman was first and Xavier 3rd.

Pumpkin Carving Party 2009

Our 3rd annual pumpkin party was great fun for us and hopefully
those in attendance. We fought the rain all day, but it was clear
and beautiful for the party. There was a big downpour right after
the party ended. Brodie, Ben and I went to the front porch and decorated
our pirate pumpkin and watched and listened to the rain. What a great night.

Brodie started back to Gymnastics this fall. He is in an all boys class and he really likes it this time around.

Soccer 2009 SMOKERZ!!!! What a name!

Go Hogs!

Big D

For the first weekend in October we headed to Dallas to visit friends and see the hog game. We spent Friday visiting the Sixth floor Book Depository and the site of the Kennedy assination thanks to cousin Chris. It was a great learning experience and a souce of much fasination for Brodie. We joined Chris and Josh for lunch. Friday night we headed over to Jim and Kathy's for a delightful evening visiting and making smores around a toasty fire on a beautifully cool fall evening. Saturday morning Chris, Gary, and Josh fixed us a wonderful breakfast that we enjoyed on the patio. What a wonderful treat. Brodie even made friends with Gary's baby - Stella. We had a wonderful time.
