The first half of the Fall season has been off to a great start! Our lovely RUF intern Carrie did a great job capturing our first professional pictures as a family of 5. I'll post some of my favorites. Kate decided not to smile until the end, but we still got some decent ones. :)
I'm really loving the way they all turned out. If you are interested in seeing others, I shared more on Facebook!
One of the places our family tries to go each October is Exploration Acres. The weather didn't work in our favor - Curtis and I tried to go there on a date, we tried to go as a family, Anna even planned to go there for a field trip at school. In the end, only Anna made it there and it was after the field trip was rescheduled TWICE. Yes, it wasn't ordained for the whole McDaniel family to go this year, but here's a few from Anna's field trip:
She's in the middle with the purple beanie.
The kids buried their Kindergarten teacher in the hay!
Here's what she looks like when she's NOT in the hay. :)
She was excited to get her little pumpkin!
I have several shots of Anna in front of this measuring stick, but not every year. This compares Anna in 2015 with her now in 2018. She's grown a lot! I'm thankful the chaperone took this picture so I could add it to my collection for comparison!
I haven't done a good job of posting about RUF this semester. even though it has been going amazingly well. If you want more information about how things have been going, feel free to click here.
One of our favorite RUF events is the pumpkin carving event!
Anna loved carving with her big friend Evan!
Kate got in on the action too.
Drew supervised!
There was a family photo booth there!
Gotta love Drew's mustache!
Here's the group shot with all of students and their carved pumpkins!
We also carved some pumpkins at home. Curtis made this nice UF (University of Florida) pumpkin.
And lastly, Halloween.
Drew's first!
Anna and London are bus buddies and they both were Wonder Woman!
Kate was Hello Kitty! This was the perfect costume for her because she is always acting like a cat and meowing! This is the first time she is wearing a different costume that Anna didn't wear. At this age, Anna was a mermaid!
Drew was a handsome giraffe!
Anna, Kate, and Drew in the giraffe costume for their first Halloweens.

Curtis also dressed up as George Michael Bluth from Arrested Development. He preached in this because RUF large group fell on Halloween!
Halloween family shot!
We trick-or-treated with our good friend Lydia (and her mom Hannah) for Halloween! We both were husbandless for the evening so it worked out pretty nicely.
This is my favorite picture of Drew and Lydia!
Action shot
Drew was looking down, but it kind of worked out pretty well for this picture! I am so thankful it wasn't raining, freezing, or snowing for this Halloween (we've had all of those since we've lived here!) The McDaniel kids have plenty of candy to last for the rest of the year now! We've got more fun planned before winter arrives so I'm sure I'll be posting again soon.
