Having taught first and second grade for years, I've observed first-hand what the struggle to read can be like for someone with Dyslexia, so I was super-encouraged to hear of this Bible's focus:

My Snapshots
What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:
Ever wonder what a typical day of school looks like around here? Well, this pretty much sums it up!
If we keep this up, we might have more photos of the 3 of us together this year than any other! (And in case you're wondering why on earth I'd post a photo of G with that expression, let me assure you that he plants these crazy expressions on his face on purpose for these photos!)
See? I told you! He's so silly! (& I also warned you that we'd be getting our $$s worth out of these passes!)
Not even 3 months, and we've been 6 times!
Aside from all things Disney, we were hit with 2 hurricanes. Nothing like a week without power to keep life interesting!
And that wraps up October! I wonder what next month has in store for us...
What were your favorite memories from this past month? I'd love to hear! Either leave a comment below or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.

I added "Hike the AT" to my bucket list after traversing the West Highland Way in Scotland years ago (read snippets here and here for a small taste). Although I'd love to enjoy more long-distance backpacking adventures with G and Gv in the future, I'm not so sure that 2,000+ miles of it is quite so appealing to me today as it was way back then.
We have, however, talked about adding a climb up to the final AT summit of Mt. Katahdin on one of our massive family summer road trips, so we'll see if that satisfies the "AT itch" without the half-a-year time investment.
The interest in that particular mountain is just one reason I was excited to see this movie:

A deeply moving coming-of-age story and testament to the courage it takes to extend kindness and love during the harshest of times, this movie is the right story at the right time:

My Snapshots
What have we been up to in the past couple months? Take a look and see:
We've always said we'd invest one year of our lives in this place...this is the year!
Gv was nominated for Best Ensemble Actress for her performance in A Christmas Carol. Although she didn't win, it was a fancy, fun night for us all!
I had to miss this year's 4-H Awards banquet to be at work, but Gv picked up my award for me along with the couple she received.
Labor Day weekend with the best of friends
We finally decided on this version of the popular card game and have been playing it since we found it on sale.
Back to sewing at the library
We're getting our $$s worth out of these passes!
Enjoying music and flamenco dancing at a local Hispanic Heritage festival
And that wraps up August & September! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

Packed and ready to go!

Death Valley
Sequoia & Kings Canyon
Yosemite (G was still waking up at this point in the morning)
Lassen Volcanic
Lava Beds
Redwoods
Crater Lake
Multnomah Falls
Haystack Rock
Olympic National Park
Mt St Helens
Mt Rainier National Park
Seattle
North Cascades
Vancouver
Jasper National Park
Columbia Icefields National Park
Winnipeg
Voyageurs National Park
Minneapolis
Abbey of Gethsemani in Bardstown, KY (Thomas Merton)
And that's a taste of 2024's trip! I wonder what's in store for us next...
