Just the SIX of us, celebrating SIX years reading some really, really good (and a couple not so good) books. Yaaas, my 👑s! #tequilamockingbirds #imthequeenofthecastle

October 2022: Harper earns the favorite fan award for the XC season. We were also able to spend the long weekend with Grammy and Grampy in Madison visiting Nicole. The weather was incredible - perfect for out door biking and hiking. Halloween's theme was anything NEON, and she ventured out of Morningstar for the first time- of course, hitting up all the houses with full size candy bars (while still being home in time for bed).

October 2022: Bennett continues to race strong, including is final race of the season - 19:07! He had the opportunity to meet Governor Walz and Peggy Flannigan! He's been busy knocking doors, and as election day gets closer and closer. Bennett stayed home on Halloween, but dressed up for the school day as "Arthur". 🤦 And, this might be his favorite pumpkin in the history of pumpkin carving. Hexagons are the best polygons.

Harper's September included being the best super fan for XC. She is incredibly skilled at cheering words of encouragement. She also, somehow magically, convinced her dad to (finally) agree it was time for a new couch, and it is amazing. Harper attended a few parades, including SC Pride, and also marched in the HOCO Parade with her student council group. She loves her kitties, takes pride in self-care, and loves a good impromptu photo shoot. 💜

Bennett's September was filled with door knocking for Aric Putnam. He has learned so much, and his colleagues continue to be amazed that he is only fifteen. They are so good at honoring his bedtime, and closing Zoom meetings early. 🤣 He was very excited to document his first pay check.

He has recovered from the minor stress fracture and has been putting up some impressive times during meets. Still waiting for the sub 20 5k, but it's coming.
