Katharine's friend Becca came over to play today and they played so great together.
They had fun playing and I got stuff done too! I was grateful for that because yesterday had been a waste and I was struggling most of the day.
Natalie had her ballroom/dance Halloween concert tonight at 6:30. I went, go me, and Wayne came too. Natalie here dancing to "Spooky Spooky Skeleton".
She liked the dresses for that number cause they twirled out really far. After her concert, Wayne took us and one of Natalie's friends to Menchie's and treated us all to some soft serve. I haven't been to Menchie's before but I like it - it's like Yogurt Stop and Red Mango. Natalie was a little sad that none of her siblings came. I was late because I went on a 4pm ride up the canyon, and when I got home, I hurried and cleaned myself up and called to the children to hurry and get ready if they wanted to come. As I went to the car, no one cared or was getting on their shoes, so I left without them. Sorry Natalie, maybe one or two can come Friday morning? If dad goes to that one?
So I'm still trying to soak up the last moments of fall. One thing I wanted to share was that I listened to the Follow Him podcast on the climb (Jeremiah 31–39; Lamentations 1; 3 with Sister Alyssa Edwardson) and they share a little bit about Kris Belcher (starts at 31:00), and she had cancer as a child that took one eye, and cancer returned as an adult to take sight from her remaining eye. And Hank shared this thought that he had about that - "How would it feel knowing that you had a week left to SEE..." and as he said that, I looked up at the mountain full of fall colors before me and the tears just started to run down my cheeks.
