Halloween and Soccer Parties

Delilah has been having a lot of fun and learning so much on her soccer team, so we decided to invite the team over after a Friday practice for pizza and s'mores. So fun to have our house full of the sounds of happy girls...especially since Delilah has been really homesick for Rye lately. I know that  one day she will have friends here that she is as close with as her Rye friends,  but it will just take time. So I was glad we could have her team over...she loves to host parties! We did a repeat of the mummy toilet paper game that we had done at Noelle's party...it made our living room a mess, but the girls had such a blast it was worth it.
A few days later it was Halloween and Lenox hosts a parade and in-town trick-or-treating...the whole town gathers in front of the Catholic church and then marches to the community center. Nearly every local store and restaurant hands out candy and everyone wanders around. One of our new friends invited us to a neighborhood party; we hung out there most of the night and met some lovely new people. A couple weeks later, we had the Ackerman family to our home for dinner...they have two girls exactly the same ages as our girls and the night was so fun that it didn't really end: they took our two back home with them for a sleepover. The next morning we picked the girls up and then headed to Boston to meet Kim and Taylor for the day; Taylor really wants to go Emerson, so she was doing a campus visit. Would love it if she and Maddie both ended up in Boston for college!
So it's been a fun few weeks. We all still miss Rye, but we are getting more and more settled here every day.
