It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for the start of school and moving Carleigh into her apartment...and it's been 3 months already! I guess we've been busy! Here's a look back at the last 3 months with the Rahns....
Katie got her senior pictures done and got to play with smoke bombs!
Last dinner before Carleigh went back to UMW for sophomore year
Carleigh goes back for sophomore year! She's in one of the older apartments with 3 great girls and has her own room! We moved her in and had a blast in the beginning of August as she returned to help with Orientation and Peer Mentoring.
Don and I got out the bikes and explored a beautiful area...had plans to return soon and then life got in the way!
Trying to take time to appreciate the beautiful skies at sunset
Can't forget about Junior!

November is here and with it comes the fast paced holiday season...so many things happening during the next 2 months:
- Thanksgiving and my birthday
- Katie hears about college acceptances
- Don's birthday
- Carleigh home for winter break
- Rahnukah celebrations
- Christmas
- Family trip to the Grand Canyon for New Years
This is my favorite time of year and I can't wait for all of the family fun and festivities that come with November and December!
One of the highlights will be as we check off a bucket list item and the 4 of us travel to the Grand Canyon for 4 nights over New Years! We can't wait!!
