Hadley is going to dress up as Candy Girl on Halloween:

Hadley colored the picture below. She has excellent fine motor skills. Her use of color is amazing. Hadley colors inside the lines better than most of my Kindergarten students: 

On October 13, Tal ran in the Tunnels to Towers 5K race in our community. The money raised goes to families of first responders and veterans who have died in the line of duty:

The Tunnel to Towers race was established to honor Stephen Siller, who was a firefighter who died on September 11:  

Tal ran in the race with some of his F3 friends. F3 stands for fitness, fellowship, and faith. Over the last few months, Tal has been doing F3 boot camp workouts several mornings each week. Tal has enjoyed getting in shape and making some new friends.
