Halloween Recital

I'm starting to teach my third year of piano lessons this year. We have done an annual Halloween recital and the kids just love it! I don't know who has more fun--my students or myself. They did a magnificent job. I'm so proud of them!

HBCP

And if we didn't get enough candy and Halloween fun at our own Church's trunk-or-treat, Ashley's preschool HBCP has their annual fall festival. The kids ALWAYS win a cake at the cake walk at this event! Aunt Jonny we needed you there this year. I love joining in the fun too!

Church Trunk-Or-Treat

Last weekend we had our Haymarket Ward Trunk-Or-Treat! Love this every year.

2nd lost tooth!

At the end of our trip to pumpkinville, Ash bit into an apple there and loosened up her 2nd loose tooth and begged for me to pull it out! Bink! Her bottom two teeth are gone. Both within 2 months of each other! 2 teeth gone before the age of 5! I do love that toothy little smile.
We started "big girl" curlers this week. I remember my mom putting them in my hair when I was Ash's age! She loves being a big girl.
Also, we got the cutest Halloween package in the mail with the most adorable handmade with love card from Aunt Jonny cakes! AKA Martha. Thanks Jonny!

Also this week, cousin Belle is 6 weeks old! I got a call when Belle had her first cold and Aaron and Reghan made a "Code Goose" call! They needed mothering adivce and it made me feel like the best Aunt in the world! Aaron and Reghan are the cutest little parents in NYC! Congrats Belle!

A Slaughter!

The Grizzlies played the Dulles Eagles 28-0 and today won 33-0! We are on our way to the playoffs!!! Austin is still Defensive line nose guard and won't let anyone past him! GO GRIZZLIES! Ash of course is the best supporter....sits with Austin on the sidelines, holds his hand and serves as water girl!

Pumpkinville

Ash's preschool did a Pumpkinville Trip! We love visiting this Pumpkin Patch!! And my little pumpkins are the cutest in the patch.

HBCP Back To School Night

Ashley's Back to School Night! I love seeing all the cute crafts these little preschoolers do.
Ash was proud to show me her elephant, fall leaves with jewels, and they sang precious little pumpkin songs!!! Have a great year Ash!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

The Witching Hour...

Go Ash Go!


Mrs. Ginger curled our hair!


Nails, done, hair curled, time for gymnastics!

Girlfriend Amanda over for beading, Barbies and babies.

Tribute to Dad

Pop sent Austin his USC football jacket! So cool. And Cam is so cool posing with Austin!


Our football team made the Grizzly Growler newsletter and underneath this picture was captioned "Our Ankelbiter team honored a Dad serving in Baghdad." So cool. All the kids had their American flags tributing Jonathan!

We found a picture of Dad in Iraq.


Grandpa all dressed up for a special dinner. Served on the Charleston County School Board for almost 10 years.

Skyping with Dad before school. Everyday at 8am is Daddy time! Morning prayer, breakfast-we're all together for it.
