September started off with a trip to Springfield, Missouri, to visit Chris’ family. While we were there, Michael learned how to ride both a bike and a scooter and he still has the road rash to prove it! Many thanks to his cousin Lincoln for being so generous with his bike and his scooter! Michael’s soccer team remained undefeated. Chris and Michael started playing racquetball at the local rec center once a week. We picked apples and saw fall leaves. Michael had his first trimester student led conference at school and Sunday School resumed. The new house is tracking along to be ready about the end of February.
