October

My team gave me a nice gift and card for Boss's day!

Bobby can't wait to be a Sumo wrestler for Halloween.  All his friends are inflatable costumes and they are trick or treating together.

We've been tailgating every home game with our friends.

Bobby made this cool collage of our family photos this year.

Our garage has had the never ending smell of meat this fall.  The boys did a lot of successful hunting and of course they had to make their own product.
 

Emmy

 Our animal lover got to spend time out at the ranch with her cats and dogs.  She also met a bird she liked while at a sleepover.  

She was chosen in her religious community at school to draw their ceremony poster.  She has so much talent!  She also came out to U Mary to meet St. Gianna's daughter.  I loved having her here and bought 50 U Mary themed pencils for her to hand out to her friends.

A conference and a fun dinner

I presented at a conference and mom agreed to come with to keep me company!  We met up for a fun dinner with her  long time friend (Eva) and mine (Kristen Bratton).  We had a great night.

We also had a pumpkin martini a few weekends ago in prep for Emmy's volleyball tournament.  She wrapped up her season with one win and a two losses.
 

It's fall y'all

 October was busy!

Bobby's football team wrapped up with 3rd place!  He had great tackles, catches, and a few runs.  He also played in two 3 on 3 tourneys with his Saints team made up of all Saint Mary's boys.  They had a tournament that they used to get to learn each other and how they play.  That first tourney had some tough losses.  The 2nd tourney was 3 for 3 with WINS!  They had a great time.

Family pictures 2022

 It was a WINDY day during our scheduled family picture photo shoot so our photographer wanted to cancel.  Instead we thought our porch and backyard would be sheltered enough to make it work.  We liked how they turned out....except Emmy who found none she thought were good of her.  It's ironic because she is by far the most photogenic of Team Eckert.
