October wrap-up

October! The weather this month was amazing. It started out warm but got consistently cool part way through the month. We've had some rain, but also some beautiful fall days. I love Virginia in the fall.

We celebrated more of our church's 50th anniversary!

We got to spend time with some sweet friends from Florida that we hadn't seen in awhile. Jane and Georgia even got a sleepover in!
