Middle School Band Festival

Nathan and Teresa represented Northwestern in the Middle School Band Festival October 15.
Nathan played trombone in the band and Teresa sang in the choir.



Middle school students from all over northeast South Dakota attended, ending with a joint performance of "God Bless America."


October Snow

We received our first winter weather on October 10. 
Rachel was the most excited when they were dismissed at noon and she announced that, "School was a little canceled!" The kids got the next day off for a snow day and the next Monday off for a holiday, making for an extra long, unexpected weekend at home!

Parents Night 2019

Photo credit goes to Joclyn Haven for this Parents Night photo.
The Wildcats ended up with 1 win on their season, with mom and dad cheering from the sidelines. We were certainly blessed with nice Friday nights overall!

Nathan was not present for his Cross Country Parents Night, as he was at home running the combine ahead of the forecasted snow. Teresa stepped in for him so I wasn't a parent without an athlete. :)

Snappy September

Whew! What a month September has been with lots of football, cross country and volleyball to watch. It's all good stuff, (just so you know I am not complaining!), and I appreciate this stay at home mom gig more and more each year as my kids are in more activities during the school day. We also take in extra activities when time allows, like our high school volleyball team, that is ranked #1 in South Dakota State B right now. When you have that caliber of high school volleyball right down the road (27 miles is just a little stroll anymore), it's tough to miss it.

I don't have many new photos on my phone this week. (I've been a little lazy on that, allowing my friends with camera share their talents with me.) This photo of Rachel from 7 years ago came across my Facebook feed this past week, though. It's one of my favorites. Nathan had a turtle in the tub named Snappy and Rachel loved to wheel up in her walker and watch him. Doesn't she just look so cute and squishy? Oh, babies were so much fun. But, this stage is pretty sweet, too, watching them grow and determine what their likes and dislikes are and hearing their dreams for their futures.
As you peer into the week ahead, I hope you see all good things, whether that be turtles, touchdowns, personal best running times, or serving aces. :)
