Halloween 2022

 This year our Halloween costumes were as easy as they come:  matching Power Rangers costumes from Wal-mart!  They won't win any awards for creativity, but the ease with which they got ready for trick-or-treating made these costumes a no-brainer.  

Go, go Power Rangers!






My sweet Caleb insisted on giving me my favorite (Reese's peanut butter cups) from his stash.




Student of the Month

 It was Judson's turn to be selected for Student of the Month for October:


We're so proud of him!  

Wren and Judson's 7th Birthday!
