October

 We got to babysit Violet for a couple of days when she was under the weather and couldn't go to daycare.

Ryan loved having the Leawood firefighters come talk to his class.
The 3rd grade girls had lots of fun with their first season of volleyball.
Ellie's friend Kennedy invited us to the Step Up for Down Syndrome walk. It was a great time.
Ryan went to a hayride and campfire with his Cub Scout troop.
The girls tried out the new playground at church.
Emma's class had a special presentation in chapel.
Emma took a painting class at the Arts & Heritage Center.
Ellie and Chris rode to school for Bike & Walk to School Day.
Emma and I spent an afternoon at Wondersope.

We got to see Uncle Alex and Sam when they passed through on their way to Seattle.
Ellie's class went on a field trip to Science City.
Ellie went to Johnson Farms with her friend Cecilia.
The Booing craze swept Nativity. We had Halloween treats dropped off on our front porch a few times, and Ellie went out Booing with her friend Francis one night. 
We went to James and Nicole's wedding at the winery.
We got to see Ellie's friend and birthday buddy, Scarlett, when she came back for a visit from Indiana.
