October




October is a very busy month for us. Birthdays, Halloween, College Fairs, Basketball, Soccer, Cheerleading, etc.




Christopher and I recently went to Baton Rouge and attended a College Fair. 100 colleges were represented from all over the country. We went there specifically to talk to a few targeted schools that he is considering and to our surprise added a few more to the "Short List". He is still on the Medical School track but I think the end result will be geared toward Research, specifically Neuro/Bahavorial Science rather than a practicing physician. Our short list of schools consists of Springhill College ( a private Catholic college in Alabama). This school has an excellent curriculum for his major, is a small school with only 1400 kids and he would most likely be able to play basketball. This is my choice for him. On the list is also George Washington University in Washington DC, Baylor University in Waco, Tx and surprisingly Ole Miss. We will be visiting the campuses of these schools in the spring. Please pray for Christopher as he makes this very important decision. Christopher also went to Homecoming last weekend. Although we don't get much of a reaction from him it appears that he had a good time. He definitely looked handsome!

Lizzy has been quite busy herself. She is cheering for EDS and the football team has weekly games. Add that commitment to tumbling once a week, Cotillion once a week and Soccer twice a week (of which I am the coach) and it makes for a very busy week! Her birthday is October 4th and we do birthdays in a GRAND way at our house. She has already had a swim party and sleepover for all the girls in her class. This was only the first party for her. I will be taking her and a few of her friends next weekend to Houston for a big weekend. Seems like we party all month for her - lol.

Maddie was quite upset at Lizzy's recent birthday party. She cried and wanted it to be her Happy Birthday. I have been reminding her that her Birthday is coming soon. That seems to appease her just a bit. We are planning a birthday party at our house with all of our friends and family. Maddie loves to swing so she will be surprised with a new swing set in the back yard. I know that this is her 3rd birthday but it feels like her first birthday to me. I am so happy that I get to celebrate with her this year!

Halloween is coming so keep checking back for cute pictures of Maddie in her costume.
