November 2014

 Hailey Joy with Grandma and Grandpa at the Growing Gracefully Fellowship dinner for Calvin Christian School

 Hailey was one of the flutist during the social hour prior to the event

 My parents and I at the event.

 My dad, Mike, Scott, and Craig at the Iowa/Minnesota game in the TCF suite

 The kids were so very excited about the early November snow fall this year.  The parents did not share the same enthusiasm!

 While Carter and Daddy were at hockey, I treated the girls to a manicure and pedicure.  They were so surprised, but I made them get their flu shot prior to being pampered.

 Carter received his first hockey jersey last week.  He is so very proud.

 Mike and I took a extended weekend trip together to Chicago last weekend.  Mike presented research at the annual American Heart Association conference.

Grandma Shar and I braved the cold to watch EPHS play at TCF in the State Championship
