Autumn Fun!

What a busy month! Raene finished her gymnastics. We will probably be putting her back in after the holidays since she liked it so much. Raene has also been keeping very busy with school, and in turn, keeping mom very busy with school. I put together a fun Halloween party for her class and we also took a field trip to the apple orchard. Her school conferences are coming up next week and Neil and I are looking forward to hearing about her progress and finding out what we can help her improve on. Ruby has been running us ragged with her crazy antics. She's a pistol for sure! We are continuously working with her, trying new things to see if we can channel some of her energy in a positive manner. Here's a few pictures from the last month - sorry about the lack of updates, my computer is still broken so I am having to steal time on Neil's to get these up.

(Happy Birthday Ruby and Grandpa! She managed to get to those candles before he even had a chance to help her)
