All the Fall Things, 2019

Dear Leah and Logan,

(I have no idea why this blog is chronologically out of place!!!)

First Day of School, Fall '19
This fall was nothing short of crazy with everything we had going on. Birthday parties, and sports, and horseback riding lessons, and living with Amanda and Dylan- there was never a dull moment.

After a 2-year run at etc's Li'l Ninja, you both decided to give it a break. I'll always be super grateful for what that class did for not only your strength and speed, but also your confidence.

The school year started in August, and Leah you got Mr. DeMario and Logan got Miss Owens.  Leah, you had a rough first week because you weren't crazy about having a male teacher, but it didn't take long for you to warm up to him. He had a strong math background and quickly saw how good
you were with numbers.


Shortly after school started, I took you guys on my favorite waterfall hike in Tennessee: Cummins Falls. You guys were champs with the hike and loved every minute of swimming by
the waterfall.

Logan, we switched you over to Murfreesboro Soccer Club for your soccer league, and the competition was quite superior to the YMCA. You got on a really good team, and a couple of the kids on the team were able to push you to a be a better player.


Leah, you had a solid few months with Lucky Fox Farms riding lessons. All of the instructors push you every single week to be a better rider and challenge you with different horses and skillsets.

Halloween brought along pumpkin carving and costumes, but then it was 30 degrees the night of trick or treating. Leah was about to check out after 20 minutes, but then she found Caprice and the world


was right again. Leah, everyone was super impressed with your Pennywise make-up that you did yourself.

We also did a giant camping trip with the Fontanetta and Graham families. We went down near the AirForce base and Woods Reservoir, where we had 3 awesome lakefront cabins. The weather treated us to 2 days of monsoon rain, but that didn't stop everyone from having fun.
Leah had her birthday party at Urban air, which has proven to be our favorite. A few school friends came along with the Chiltons.

Last but not least: the 3 of us knocked out a Tough Mudder Race. We were all surprised that the kids race was a full race....and the mud, of course, was everywhere.

Not bad for 3 quick months!! I continue to stay impressed with how busy we stay...it sure keeps life interesting!!


Love,

Dad
