Dani's tennis group came over for a pasta party and had alot of fun.

Then it was time for the conference finals. Dani and Lauren took third!

Homecoming time! Dani's first homecoming float decorating. She worked on the tennis and orchestra floats.

Next was the homecoming dance. We had a fun group over for dinner before the dance.

We went to Chicago to Orchestra Hall to see the Chicago Symphony. Joshua Bell, a GREAT violinist, was the guest performer. We even met him after the show. It was amazing.

Fall colors were surprisingly bright this year.

Dani's first High School orchestra concert was this month. She had the honor of being the Concert Master. Of course There was the required trip to Culver's after.

Donna and Nancy came for a visit as well.

We went to see the pumpkins at the courthouse for Pumpkinfest. Many cool works of art.

We had a great day for the Pumpkinfest parade. We loaded up in Dani's El Camino to get there. The parade was a little shorter this year but the day was excellent.

Joe's birthday was a fun time as well.Thanks for the great gifts.
