The Gezon Gazette: Michigan Fall

One of Michigan’s best kept secrets is fall. Summer is and always will be my personal favorite, but fall is a beautiful time of year. Much like summer our fall has been busy. Mostly driving Mariada everywhere, swim meets, swim practice, soccer practice, soccer games, school, friends, youth group, you get the idea! But she is doing great; she has decided this year that swimming is NOT her thing, so next year (when she could drive herself) she will not be getting up at 5AM to go to practice ;) But she does still LOVE soccer, sadly it’s over, but her team did end their season undefeated and will be moving up to the second best level in the state next year! She is now working out with friends every day after school and working very hard at maintaining her all A’s report card. BIO is an issue ;)

Ben was home for as long weekend and it was great having him home. Things are going great and he enjoys school. We are very much looking forward to the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Sara is in full skiing mode, she spent the last two weeks out west trying out for the national development team, and although they have not made any decisions yet they have invited her to return to another camp in a few weeks. She’s home for this week taking tests and making up school work, but leaves again this weekend for Maine.

Since the last update Bob turned 50, but he’s not recognizing his birthday, so I took him to Paris and London for a non-birthday, birthday celebration. Really we used a trip that we had won in an auction last year that was about to expire but since he wasn’t recognizing it anyway… Needless to say the quick getaway was perfect, we had a blast and if we had taken more than 15 pictures I’d share, but it was more of a just hang out see what we could see after sleeping in and having a leisurely breakfast type of break! It was wonderful!

So now it’s all about the upcoming holidays, weekends are starting to book up and we are really looking forward to Thanksgiving at my mom’s house, jingle bell parade’s and holiday parties with friends!
