Homecoming

Ella decided at the last minute to go to the Homecoming dance at her high school so we found a pretty dress in her closet and cute heels in mine.  She went with a group of friends and fortunately they had a little photo shoot before the dance (after getting ready at a friend's house) so I got to see them all dressed up and ready for a fun night.  At the dance Ella says they don't play any slow songs, so it's a fun atmosphere for a night of dancing with your friends.  Ella had a great night, but definitely will be looking for a dress early next year so she's ready and feels more comfortable.  I think she looked beautiful and I couldn't be happier that she's partaking in all of the essential high school experiences. 

Instagrammin' in October

October is always one of my favorite months.  The weather's beautiful and I have an excuse to get outside quite a bit with my October 100 challenge, my own tennis team play, and watching lots of Ella's and Jack's sports games/matches.  Ella's month was filled with high school tennis matches and adjusting brilliantly to high school life.  Jack played middle school football (and his first tackle football experience) as well as club soccer.  Jonathan and Ella won their age groups in a 5k race.  Jonathan and I got in a few dates.  And Olive's favorite month is October with all of the walks she gets in.
