part 3

September found Chad starting graduate school in pursuit of a Masters degree at Trevecca Nazarene University and Jakob crossing over to Boy Scouts.  October brought Tanya's 36th birthday followed by a trip to Holiday Acres with the McCarthys and a neighborhood trick or treating with the Moodys.

November proved to be a pretty busy month as Chad had to go to the Gulf Shores area for a work trip, so we rolled in a family trip to the beach.  We enjoyed a couple of days of 80 degree weather on the beach and got to see the Blue Angels and the Naval Air Museum.  Chad was working throughout the trip juggling events for a songwriters festival.  The guest writer/artists for the trip were Joey+Rory Feek and Steven Dale Jones.  The whole family went to Lulu's for dinner and the show.  Lots of good food and music!  On our way home, we capped off the trip with the only request that the boys had which was to eat at Lambert's "home of the throwed rolls."
