November

November fun!

 Started off the month with a trip to Kearney with some of my students for a conference.  Love my new gig with high schoolers:)

Went to Lincoln for a Husker volleyball game and now that some of our family lives there, we can easily meet up with them!!  

Headed home the next day so we could see Elf the Musical, which many of my students were in!  Fun to see them in a different light:)

Coaching Reeve's third grade team this year and loving every minute of it!  They have shown so much growth already.  Excited to see what they will look like by the end of the season!

 

Got to enjoy a fun night out and shopping with Shannon and Lisa!  Love that they both live in Lincoln now-makes it quick and easy to go hang with them:)

The newest family photo of Mike's sister Kati, her husband Nate, and our beautiful new niece Blair!  We are in love:)

Treated ourselves to a beverage after getting the carpet in and the basement set back up!  Praying we never have to do this again!

Big kids at dinner group:)

Both the boys got a buck this year!  This was Joden's first year and he did quite well:)

Thanksgiving fun with my family before we headed to Sidney.  We were  due to celebrate with Mike's family this year, but got to see my family before we left--mainly due to the snow storm that came in.  

Off to Sidney!

Our official meeting of Miss Blair!  She is a sweetheart:)

All the Schumacher ladies!

Liv showed up, got to meet baby Blair, and was shoving grapes in Mike's mouth:)

Frozen 2 with cousin Piper!  

 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.

October

My challenge was to only pick 10 pictures this month...I settled for 12:)

#1:  Unfortunately while dad was in Wyoming elk hunting I got hit by another vehicle, leaving me without a car.  Thanks to my dear friend Leah, she came to the rescue!  Just got my car back and it feels so good:)

#2:  Harvest of Harmony parade with my loves prior to their final soccer games!

#3:  Dad was finally home so we cuddled up for a movie on the mattress in the basement:)

#4:  Reeve got to dance for Dancers Against Cancer!

#5 and 6:  My babies and their elementary school pictures!  That's a wrap for Joden.  My favorites are Kindergarten and 4th grade:). Reeve, that little stinker, adjusted her hair this year prior to pictures...not my favorite although her smile is pretty great.  My other favorite would be 1st grade!

 #7:  Imagination Bacon event with my dear friends whom I met through coaching basketball!  Love how life leads you down paths that connect you to others who will be in your life from then on:)

#8:  Books with mom!  

#9:  Gates Elementary Pumpkin Patch night!  

#10:  Red Ribbon Week at Gates.  Friday was dress like your on the Red Carpet!  They both look pretty great:). Joden said he was business red carpet and Reeve stated she was sassy red carpet!

#11:  Our niece entered the world!  This is Blair Justine, born on 10.26.19.  We cannot wait to meet her:). 

#12:  Trick or Treating with a unicorn and a monster zombie!  Parenting is for sure a journey and as Joden is embarking on his last year of elementary school some of the feels are coming out for me.  As we trick or treated I kept thinking about how I am not sure how many more of these we will have!  Incredibly crazy how fast it all goes by.

~For he will not often consider the years of his life, because God keeps him occupied with the gladness of his heart.                                                                           Ecclesiastes 5:20
