We took advantage of our dear friends from MBA school and left our kids for a night away. The kids stayed with Eric and Gretchen while Mike and I explored Holland, MI. We were supposed to camp, but the campground in Holland (a cement parking lot with RV's) wasn't quite what we were picturing , so we headed to Holiday Inn Express instead. We spent an evening on the beach and then another morning on the beach hammering out our annual planning. We then had lunch at a quaint bakery in picturesque downtown Holland. It was a nice get away, lovely to just be us for 24 hrs.
We hosted a few MBA families for Sunday dinner. So fun to have friends when you've moved somewhere new. 
One of Mike's trips in Oct. was to Provo to do a little recruiting. He returned with color changing cars from grandma. The kids lived at the sink for the day and couldn't have been happier. 
And of course, October brings lots of leaves! Never a leaf pile without children.
This little cutie melts my heart! I can't believe how big she is getting.

I'd be interested to know what you mean by "annual planning."
Ahhhahahahah!! I totally served in Holland - my last area before returning home! But I never got to go to the beach - it looks beautiful. Glad you guys could leave the kiddos - how nice to have other MBA families close by. We are currently having our 4th snowstorm of the winter already! So count yourselves lucky:)
