A had a lot of tests at Sidwell last week or the week before and they are all coming back with great grades. Well done, A! 

M is deep into her climbing club. She says she is very sore and physically exhausted from it, which is totally understandable! She goes out to Rockville 3 days a week for climbing at Earth Treks and she does other stuff at GDS on the off days.

N had a playdate with his friend Sam F. today, and reported back that it was "not good". What a surprise!

Days are colder and shorter. House is nice and cozy. A got a new desk today, which we are excited to put together. And I have a new laptop – yippee! Hopefully it will be a little lighter than my last one. Thank you, Homesnap.
