Aren't we the Socialites?

 We are so social this Fall!

I got to go to Amber's poetry slam twice! 
Enjoyed hearing and sharing poetry at Windham Restaurant

Scott got to meet up with colleagues and tour a Robot Maker in Boston

Ollie has been taking soccer on weekends

At Stake Women's Conference, I got to meet ladies from the area, attend classes, have lunch, learn Salsa dancing....so much fun and very inspiring

The boys got to play paintball with their friends in Young Men's

Ollie can now swim with no floaties!
He needs to practice endurance now and longer distances. 
He tried swimming his first 25 meters last class with lots of breaks.

Lunch with Nicole

The Ward "Campout" breakfast. 
We got majorly rained out and instead we called off the campout, and instead 
had a breakfast at the church.  

Still got to hear the talent show!
I loved Lisa's skit and especially loved Brother Guerell's song on the ukelele.

We attended opening night of Screemfest with our friends, the Luangrath's!

Cora was not so sure about the haunted houses at first, but them warmed right up to them and asked to repeat the first haunted house AGAIN even!

Having the "monsters be gone" necklace and glow in the dark bunny hat helped her feel safe too!

We enjoyed a housewarming dinner at Jessica's house.  
They remodeled a 200 year old home in town!  They did such a good job!
So happy to have you in Windham, Jess!

We were invited to Dina's Sukkot!

This is a Jewish tradition as a symbol of the Israelites setting up tents in the wilderness for 40 years.  
You invite your friends to visit and socialize in the Sukkot.  You also do a small little prayer ceremony holding some fresh greens and a citrus.  So special to be invited!

Windham Pilates had an employee dinner.  We all got bags with numbers on them to show how many years we have been working at the studio with T-shirts/tanktops to commemorate the 15 year anniversary of Windham Pilates.  The food and company was amazing!

I led the Book Group Discussion on "Their Eyes were Watching God", one of my old favorites.  
We had a very fun discussion together!  So many interesting theme's in this book.
MOPS  (MOMCo) has started up again!  I decided to help my friend and fellow MOPS board member start up our group again after a 4 year hiatus (which started when the pandemic began).
We're offering mothers in the area a space to meet up, discuss parenting, and have a little mom's community together.    The name is officially changing to MOMCo....a much better fit, I think!

The theme this year is "SAY YES!" and the symbols this year are 
A camera: Be in the Moment
A cactus:  Befriend Discomfort
An ice cream cone"  Be Easily Delighted.

Jenn found lots of cute fun decor with our symbols for the year!

And....just today I helped Windham Pilates set up our yearly scarecrow at the Windham Scarecrow Contest.  We have a flying witch flying with her broomstick and breast cancer awareness symbols.

Susan has even recently done a certificate for teaching Pilates to those who have had radiation, chemo, mastectomies, etc. for treating breast cancer. 

We are looking forward to a Murder Mystery Dinner with a group next Friday night!  I've never participated in one before - so we'll see how that goes. 😄

Hope you are all doing lots of fun things with friends too.
  We are grateful for so many opportunities to see friends and neighbors!
