Saturday, Oct. 8

We enjoyed a beautiful day in Knoxville today, with the temperatures starting off very cool in the morning and then warming up with nice sunshine in the afternoon. Stephen and Betsy returned from a mini-vacation late in the afternoon and Stephen went with Nancy and Jacob for a bike ride. Jacob got to ride Stephen's racing bike and had a great time.

On Friday night we went to see Jacob play in his high school marching band at the football game. His team won, and the band played well. Jacob was out late since he and his band members clean the stands after the game. I believe this is how the band raises money to pay for their bus rides to away games.

We are looking forward to next week when we only have school on Monday - Wednesday. We have Thursday and Friday off as a "fall break". We don't have any big plans but will likely just catch up on work around the house.
