2011 In Review: Aug to Dec

Indie left for her 2nd trip abroad. This one was with her Service Scholars group. They went to Poland, Armenia, and Georgia. Taryn came home for a brief time, and next thing we knew, we were driving her back again, taking the last of Indie's stuff and her cat to her new apartment, and another school year began for Mariah & Gib.

Gib invited to one last trip to the lake. So glad Taryn was able to go along!

Gib began preliminary plans for his Eagle Project
The project: A horseshoe pit back there in the trees

Indie's trip to help in a house build for an Armenian family

Chrissie and Mike begin moving the girls back to college. I believe this is the 3rd time Mike loaded the truck in the span of a few days.

Aussie loves his new apartment with Indie!
Waiting for his girl to walk through the front door. I told him Indie was coming home that night!

In September, Mariah and I visited Indie and helped paint her apartment.
We had to do that in order to visit Aussie.

Meanwhile, Taryn is still hanging out at college during Fall Break.
She found a kitten to play with - amazingly we didn't end up with one
Every Friday after school, Gib and friends go to the park to play Ultimate Frisbee and make a food run afterwards

Gib got sick with a mystery virus and ended up in the ER where to our relief he was cleared of meningitis, flu and strep. After several hours the 103 fever finally broke.
Taryn on Black Friday: the madness doesn't get to her at all!
Everybody sooo excited to have their photo taken at the mall on Black Friday. Notice the crowds! I think the midnight people were still sleeping.

Mariah performed in a huge dinner theatre show with a Madrigal Christmas Theme
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
