October at a Glance

This week has been pretty low key so far. We are getting ready for John and Jeremy's birthdays coming up (11th and the 31st), Halloween, our Foster Family Picnic on Saturday, and Round-up Sunday at church this weekend. I still can't believe John David will be 3 next week! This past year has flown by. Caitlyn has a violin recital coming up on the 28th. Guess what song she was assigned to play?? You guessed it! Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! She has actually learned how to play it smoothly, one note at a time now. I will try to remember to video her sometime this week. Her confidence amazes me. She has no fear in front of an audience. In fact she sang in church about a month ago, and never faltered! Kylie should be getting her purple belt in the next few weeks. She is getting more confident in Tae Kwon Do. She doesn't freak out anymore if her friend, John Joseph, isn't there. Jeremy and I are planning a get-away next week for two nights. A friend is watching the kids so we can get some alone time. I can't wait! We're going back to the condo at the beach. As much as I love the kids, I love to have a break too!! Dawn has soccer practice tomorrow night, but then we have a week off soccer, which should be nice. Dawn is doing better the last few days, but last week was pretty bad. Continue to pray for us. Dawn's therapy was helping, but she has clammed up recently and refused to speak to her therapist. Corey is doing well, although he continues to have issues the morning after a visit. Sometimes I forget what life was like before all the drama! :) Love you all, and thank you to God Almighty who has for now blessed us with these.
