What a trip being back in high school as an adult! It has taken a bit to get adjusted to being back in school – everyone in different schools. Somehow we got lucky and we all had different back to school nights. We are working on getting everyone where they need to be and getting all the schedules synced.

Aidan is in ninth grade. He is now in Dues Band (junior jazz band), Big Band (senior jazz band) and he decided to add football band to his list. We went to football games!!

Brendan is in seventh grade. He started the year rehearsing for another show – Willy Wonka! He is an Umpa Lumpa. The show was a lot of fun. Bren enjoyed his new friends and also seeing old friends come and enjoy the show too.

Both kids are busy with their activities and I am settling into my new role with events and getting to know everyone.

In October Emilee turned 2! She is so much fun to hang out with. She had fun dressing up as a lamb for Halloween. Brendan was Billie Eilish. Aidan didn’t dress up but came along to enjoy the fun of trick or treating on Broadway.

We took the opportunity of the long weekend in November to have a girls trip to Washington DC. Mom wanted to go to the Newseum which was scheduled to close at the end of 2019. We flew down for the weekend. We did some tourist things and then spent the day there. It was a fun weekend and I am so glad we got to see the Newseum before it closed!

Aidan played in the football band for the Thanksgiving game, but didn’t want us to go. It was a cold day! We celebrated with all our family.

In his spare time one Willy Wonka was going on, Bren volunteered at 4th Church to help with their show. It was Aladdin – a favorite show he performed there and at school and at summer studios. It was fun to watch him work with younger kids!

Somehow the fall flew by but not without lots of fun and silliness.
