We did our usual tradition this year of going to the Harpers' house for Halloween. It's Cathy's birthday, so each year we celebrate her and trick-or-treat their neighborhood next to Grace School.
The weekend before we also participated in Grace's Trunk or Treat. Now that we have older kids, it's our turn to host a trunk and hand out candy.
Stacy, Jo, Mom, Cathy
Allison passed her driver's test today, and this past weekend Omie and Papa Fred gave her a car! They passed down their 2016 Kia Sorrento. Lucky girl. She should start driving herself to school sometime this next week, which makes this mama super nervous. How is she old enough for this?!?!
Lesson learned: Do not go to Columbus, TX for your driver's test. Stick to Houston Megaplex. ;)
Allison offered some words of wisdom to the current Grace 8th graders today along with 9 other alumni. She did such a great job of sharing how the experience at Awty feels, what to expect, and the differences between middle school and high school. Proud of her!!!
I have not been to a UT football game since...maybe college? Thanks to sweet Kayla Fletcher the kids and I went to see them play OSU today. We also walked around the campus, where we had a near-death experience with a gang of 100 scooter kids (including "Justin Beiber"), and toured SRD.
Both Allison and Aidan said it's not the place for them, but what a fun day! We finished it off with lunch at Hula Hut, which was perfect because the weather was amazing.
Allison headed to Winston-Salem to enjoy her Fall Break since the rest of us still had school and work, well at least that was the plan. Tyler decided to take three days off work and head up there also though mid-week. haha! They were so busy having fun riding bikes, shopping, hiking, chilling, etc that not many pictures were taken. Papa Jerry did send me these though!
Happy Birthday, Sweetie! At #16 you are driven, selfless, funny, loving, patient, and curious. We are proud of all you are and all you are becoming. Those of us who get to ride along on your journey are so fortunate. Love you tons @_amcafee_ !!!
Friday after school Allison celebrated at NoPo with 8 school friends, Saturday night Miriam spent the night, and this morning we went to an 80s cafe for breakfast. It's been a fun birthday weekend for this sweet girl!
