“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables. October, how I love thee, especially in Indy! The last couple of years we've been on Fall Break in Florida during the middle of October, and I feel like we missed some of the best local October fun. This year we only have two days off for break and are staying put. I'm so glad, because we're filling the month with ALL the autumn fun Indy has to offer!

I love her confidence and her desire to constantly improve, even on the nights when she's a little worn out from her school day. She's got goals and a dream to swim for the Carmel Swim Team when she's older, and that keeps her pushing herself. Not me, not her coach, but her. She drives it ...
