Another busy Fall season for us.
Madi had a good first semester at Liberty as a second year student. She began to really get started in her journalism major and practicum. She as able to be published multiple times. She also continued to be involved on campus and exploring the Lynchburg area. Here are some pics of her semester.
She came home a few times. On her way home from fall break, we went on a hike as a family in Catoctin, MD.
Andrew and Abby had a good start to their school years. Here are their school pictures from the beginning of the year.
He also had a very good cross country season. He was able to be a top runner in the local area and in the league. He medaled at the District 3 AAA meet and qualified for the State AAA Championships. It was awesome to watch. Here are some pics of the season and his traditional meets.

Andrew started basketball in mid-Nov. We
decided to run one more race in NYC at
Van Courtland Park over Thanksgiving at the Foot
Locker Northeast Regional race. He ran with his Chambersburg summer
training partner and close season competitor. It was a fun experience.
Andrew was inducted into the National Honor Society in late October. It was a big honor as a junior.
Abby had a good fall. She has started off 3rd grade well. In addition to making lots of slime in "Abby Shack" (her space in the basement for slime), she spent time at Awana at church, at Andrew's xc meets, and also started swimming at the Y.
Abby and I went hiking to Cunningham Falls. We had a few small falls and wet feet, but we made it to the top.

Abby planned and was very excited about Halloween. She dressed as Mal from Descendents. She was hampered a litte with her orthodontic quadhelix appliance, but was able to gather chocolate candy she could eat. A tradition continues.
Andrew went to CFAW at Liberty University in early Nov. He had a good time. He went to classes, stayed in the dorm for 2 nights, went to UVA-Liberty Football game at UVA, and got to visit with Madi. We headed down for the weekend as well and hung out around campus. Here are some pics.
We did get a freak snow storm the week before Thanksgiving. It stuck around for a few days. Just added to the wacky 2018 weather. A picture of Abby to commemorate.
We had a good Thanksgiving. Madi was home for a week. After Thanksgiving, Madi will head back to finish her semester, Andrew will continue with school and varsity basketball, and Abby will coninue with school, swimming, and AWANA at church.
Until next time.......
