October 2019

I started off October by meeting my sister at my parents house to visit my Dad and help go through some of my mothers things. I wonder if it will every not feel weird being there and not seeing my mom at her seat at the kitchen table or in her favorite chair in the family room. I traveled with Bella because… well I always do and because I believe that dogs have the ability to give you exactly what you need when you need it. Jennifer obviously felt the same.

I had to post this one of Scout, my sisters dog. She refers to her as her rescue dog and I agree they both rescued each other. Plus I don’t look as much like a crazy dog lady when I am around her. I swear though, this dog is human and acts like a model. She looks you in the eye and will keeps you honest.

We spent a few days going through drawers and closets … laughing and crying, taking LONG bike rides and enjoying meals together. We went to the beach for sun set and spent a lot of time talking about my Mom and the memories we have growing up.

I have a great set of friends that are really creative with their theme parties. This year we did a harvest craft night. I do not have one ounce of creativity, but my friend Kathy is the master and totally hooked me up!!!! I had no idea how crafty my friends were!

Our final presentation!

  

We dug through our decorations and our web/bug followed us all the way from MA.

I have never seen his room this clean!

First homecoming dance and Ayden is doing the make up on Jordan. I love that they have each other. This reminds me so much of Jennifer and I! (Just in reverse.)

First Homecoming

Stoneman Douglas High School

It was heart warming for me to see how much Ayden wanted to help Jordan get ready. These girls are very different in so many ways but I love how they come together to support each other.

It is so nice to see these girls all dressed up when they are usually wearing cleats and shin guards!

Ok Bella was pretty excited for her as well!

Bella messing around on her walk… this is her “I am not taking one more step” act.

Halloween shenanigans with the Carr’s!
