Pumpkins

 It was a carving pumpkins kind of day. They still love this tradition. Leah did a ghost, Kiersten did Ghost Face and Hattie did Zero from A Nightmare Before Christmas. 

Homecoming

 Slipping through my fingers…

I’m getting a taste of what it will be like to let her go in a few years. I’m not ready. My beautiful Leah is in Illinois visiting friends and celebrating Homecoming. And what a homecoming it was. She got to see all her favorite people. I’m thankful for the “village” that made it all possible. She ate at Krekels and Las Margs, caught up with Kamran, and her favorite girl friends. She even got hugs from Christa.Time slow down. 

And in the meantime Kiersten was hanging with all her besties. Christa hosted all of Kiersten’s friends Saturday night for a hangout. On Sunday she went ice skating with Isabella and Cayde and Sunday night she had a sleepover with Ariel. She loves her people big.

Glowing Pumpkins

It’s October and my girls are always up for Halloween fun. When I saw this fun event at Tohono Chul advertised I knew we needed to go. Hattie invited her friend Natalie to join in the fun, and then Aunt Laura and Nat and Jo came along too. We started at Sauce for dinner, and then headed to the park.

The pumpkin displays were fantastic. We loved the Sanderson sisters, and the Under the Sea was great too. Harry Potter and Star Wars were great. And we even got to watch a bit of a carving display. I hope we can take Leah and Kiersten next year.

First Amphi Orchestra Concert

 First orchestra concert in Tucson DONE ✅ 

Through all the ups and downs and curves that have come their way…love of music (and swim) has stayed consistent. We so enjoyed listening to them play tonight, and the added bonus of Leah being the “concert master”. Who knew that was even a thing?!?!
