The month started off with a
vet visit for Sally and resulted in a diagnosis of ear infections. On the 10th, Chanelle lost her job as a
probation officer, but that meant she would be a full-time stay-at-home-mom
again. Although she was disappointed, she knew that it was in God’s hands and
that He has a bigger plan. Travis went
to GA to spend the weekend with Brian.
They went to an air show and had a good time. Memaw & Pepaw left on the 16th. Chanelle enjoyed helping with the swiss
steak dinner at church on the 19th.
On the 26th, the Bouwmeester and Holland family got together for "Thanksgiving" before grandma & grandpa went back to Florida. Sandy’s Stables had a kid’s fall festival and we took the boys. They enjoyed hunting for candy through a
pile of sawdust, decorating pumpkins and Andrew loved riding the horse…he did
it twice! On Halloween, we rode with Jason & Hannah and took the kids to a
church in Kingsley for an indoor Harvest Festival. It was a good thing too
because the weather was horrible! It rained…a lot! The kids enjoyed playing
games for candy and hanging out with each other. As for the weather, October was crazy. It was 80 degrees on October 1st, 60s-70s the next couple of weeks, and we had snow on the 23rd.
