Guess who won!? (For like the first time ever!)
House church...
The traditional annual cousin trip to the pumpkin patch...
On our break week from CC, Micah's Challenge A class had a fun "Chronicles in Narnia" brunch party at Ms. Carole's house. Mostly the kids did nerf gun wars and the mom hung out and talked. :)
Renaissance Festival field trip!!
The falconry show was super cool!
The vulture was pretty funny because he kept walking through the aisles trying to find food. He dug a sandwich out of someone's bag!
Funniest show at the Festival: "Hey Nunnie, Nunnie!" I thought my kids were going to pee their pants from laughing so hard. Especially the song, "There were 5 Constipated Men in the Bible..."
Our little buddy Selah...
Look at those studious little Challenge A students!
Representing the sizes and spacing of our solar system. This was a pretty fun little project...
A whole bunch of CC families went to see the Peter Pan musical at the Children's Theater in Charlotte. It was really good!
Playing in the park after the play...
The international student dinner in October was actually a bonfire/game night at this really cool place called "The Doghouse" (which is just a little game room/lodge at someone's house.)
House church at our house was more kids than adults...
Little cutie friends at CC...

Our whole CC Community this year!
Playing fun games when I tutored Essentials...
Micah, Abby, and Ben were all wearing red. But trying to get a picture of them is easier said than done!
A few months ago, CJ Garst asked Ben if he and the boys would like to go to the Clemson Homecoming game with him. It was the night before Micah's 13th birthday, so we made a fun weekend of it by visiting the Buchers in Greenville!
Trying to sneak up on ducks...
At the football game...
He didn't even make it to halftime without being bored! (No, he didn't fall asleep.)
Sitting in the parking lot of Napa getting a new van battery. It wouldn't start for us several times over the weekend, so we finally stopped and got it taken care of Sunday after church.
Eating lunch at the Tipsy Taco... and Micah got a special treat for his birthday!
Micah didn't even take a single bite, but everyone else devoured it!
Dancing in the living room to Isaac's tunes...
Excited for Oreo Ice Cream cake!
Little buddy was pooped after staying up so late for the football game the night before...
The 13 year old with his new guitar case, new hat, and new shirt...
Finished off the evening at Grandma and Grandpa's with the Ziebers!
OSU hoodie from Grandma and Grandpa:
Playing Taboo, another of Micah's birthday gifts...
Last year, our CC group had done a trunk-or-treat with games at the Senior Center. This year, they invited us to come to something they planned for the kids! It was very sweet and they had obviously worked hard. :) Our group even made the CN2 news!
This lady was 102!
The robot was the contest winner! But he couldn't hold on to the prize because his arms wouldn't reach. 😂
Walking through "Spooky Town" which the seniors made out of boxes...
Abby's presentation at CC was on her friends,the Buchers, and the fun weekend we had in Greenville!
Caleb diagramming in his first year of Essentials...
