Regional and State Cross Country Meets

The regional cross country meet was held at the end of October. Kyla did the best she’s ever done and helped qualify her team for a spot at the State meet in Austin. They came in 2nd place at the regional meet! So proud of Kyla and her team for all their hard work. It paid off! The State meet in Austin was at the beginning of November. We stayed overnight at a hotel so we wouldn’t have to take such a long drive the day of the meet. The girls gave it their best, but sadly didn’t end up with a medal. It was tough competition! Such an awesome experience for Kyla to take part in all of this as a Freshman. There were four Freshman on the team that are all amazing. Kyla’s best friend is one of them. Excited to see what’s in store for the team next year!

Ellee turns 1!

Back in October, my cousin asked me to take a few photos of her sweet baby who just turned one. I set up my seamless paper in the garage for most of these. Our garage has great lighting during the morning hours!

Kate Morton is one of my favorites. I love her writing style and the gothic atmosphere in all her books. The Clockmaker's Daughter is a beautifully written ghost story that interweaves between different time periods and lots of characters. You have to pay very close attention or it gets confusing. One of my favorites this year!
