Last month in photos:
| Charlotte is enjoying her weekly tap class. |
| Gabe and the other eighth grade athletes and band members were recognized at one of the football games. |

| Charlotte posing in the toy department. |
| Friday night football game |
| The band performed at the grand opening ceremony before racing off to a festival for competitions. |
| Smiles before the dangerously fast festival ride started. We wanted to ride the ferris wheel like last year but it wasn't running. |
| Parade competition. They looked and sounded amazing as always. |
| Getting good seats at the field show competition. It was a long cold evening. Then it started raining. We're not sure how the band members stayed warm, but they did a great job and won many awards. |
| Charlotte has discovered Claire's and wants to spend all her money there. |
| We attended a Girl Scout event at our local clip and climb. |
| cat (and teenager) cuteness |

| Charlotte and I made bracelets for the Taylor Swift movie the next day. |

| Music/band/orchestra class visit |
| Charlotte was very excited to get her own library card. |
| Last year for the elementary school Trunk-or-Treat. |
| We attended a party for band volunteers. It was a rainy but fun night of eating, talking, and playing music. |
