October

In October we took two trips to Athens, GA for both the Alabama game and the Mizzou game. For the Alabama game, we stayed the weekend in a rental house with Mama and Grandaddy.  The kids stayed at the house while Matt and I went to my college ministry's reunion dinner.  It was so fun to be with two of my best friends from college and see several friends whom I had not seen in awhile.  Then Matt, Grandaddy, and our friend Chris went to the game in the POURING rain while the girls all hung out in the warm and dry house watching the game on TV.  Unfortunately it was not the outcome we hoped for, but it was a wonderful weekend!!  The house had a set of guitars that Hannah and Ethan had a blast playing.  They sang "Hey Bartender" all weekend, and it was hilarious!  For the Mizzou game, Matt and I just went for a day trip and left the kids with a babysitter at home.  It was a long day but so worth it!  Since Mizzou joined the SEC, Matt and I have not missed a "family rivalry" weekend!  We also had lots of fall fun in October.  We went to a pumpkin patch that had a hayride, face painting, and a petting zoo.  The kids got to go on a firetruck when the firefighters came to visit Hannah's school.  One weekend Timmy, my cousin, came to town for a Panthers game, and made the time to come out to dinner with us!  It was so fun to see him and we are so thankful he wanted to see us!  We also had lots of fun enjoying the cooler weather, by playing at the park.  We finished the month with a trip to St. Louis for Halloween and to meet our sweet new nephew Ben!  We had a great time with family and the kids LOVED trick or treating, even in the rain!!
