Luke received a special honor today; he was selected to participate in Youth Leadership Reno County, which brings students in 7th and 8th grade from all over Reno County together to develop leadership skills, tour sites/businesses, and participate in community improvement. It's a big deal for him, as only one seventh grade boy and one seventh grade girl are selected from each school. Luke's class is right at 200 students. I'm not sure what exactly they will get to do this year, but looking at the schedule I see they'll be at the State Capitol on Kansas Day. I think I'll volunteer to go along on that trip!
In other news, we're looking forward to a visit from Mom and Lane this weekend. Aubrey will perform with the marching band at the Homecoming football game Friday night, and then Aubrey and Luke will both march in the Buhler Frolic parade the next day. After that we plan to load up and head to Kansas City so we can go to the "Myths of the Highlands" day at the Renaissance Festival. The boys are looking forward to lots of weapons.
We're enjoying gorgeous fall weather this week, as I hope you are too! Jerry is busy building a cover over the "pit" window well in our back yard, and I'm permanently attached to my paintbrush. We're sprucing things up a bit for all you Bernings - see you at Thanksgiving!
