November

The girls had a wonderful Halloween. They were pirates. CC carried both swords and my brother Jayson wore the eye patch. But everyone had great fun. And my sister had her baby!!! Lillian Plum was born on 10/23 and she is beautiful, perfect. There are no words to describe how amazing she is and how much her little cousins adore her. Grace is taking her job very seriously and she is being quite the big helper. Andrea is doing terrific and Fred is an excellent father. Grace has begun writing a series of novels. Some of the titles are: "Cats by Grace Rhein" and "Dogs by Grace Rhein" or "Mom by Grace Rhein" and "Dad by Grace Rhein" also "CC by Grace Rhein" and my favorite "Log by Grace Rhein". All riveting story lines with surprise ending. As you know Grace got married at the end of the school year last year. They are fine, no kids yet. They are just enjoying married life. CC has a boyfriend as well. And apparently it's serious because not only do they ocassionally nap on cots about 3 feet from one another, they were sitting side by side for the class picture! Yes, it looks like we will soon be hearing wedding bells for these 2 lovebirds as well.
