Hermione

As I was purchasing the "real" $$$ robes in Universal in April Emily promised me she would be Hermione for Halloween. She still loves everything Harry Potter, including her costume! And yes, that is Lucy as a school bus driver...every wizard has a pet!

The Speech

Michelle Obama came to Manchester last week and Emily was lucky enough to be able to attend the event. She gave a very powerful speech and Emily loved every minute! I wish I was able to attend!

Grandpa's Brithday

On October 1 Roger turned 80! We had a nice party for him and we were lucky enough to have the girls over night as well!!!

Student of the Month

 Webster School has a new principal (not pictured) and she has brought back Student of the Month to our school. Emily was awarded this for September for ...wait for it...gym. She was quite pleased with this because she was the ONLY recipient for all of the 3rd - 5th grades. 

And by the way, it was Hat Day, which explains the panda hat.

The Big Apple

 After 2 amazing days at The Open, we went into the city for some fun! Our first stop was a visit to the top of the Empire State Building! Rick and I have not been back since we got engaged there..... 14 years ago! Of course a cartwheel photo was in order at the top!

After a great lunch, we went to see Wicked! I have seen it twice, and Rick once, but never in New York, and it was AMAZING! I had introduced Emily to the music, and the story prior to our trip and we are still listening to the music in the car now!

What a story! The story about OZ before Dorothy dropped in.....
