Pues, volleyball is done for another year, and we have a little time off of after school activities until basketball starts......although Katelyn still has play practice most nights from 7:oo to 9:30.  The school play they are doing this year is called "Seussical".  It's musical based on Dr. Seuss' stories, primarily "Horton, Hears a Who" and "Horton sits on an Egg".  There is a lot of singing (imagine that :) and Katelyn plays the part of a bird girl.  We are hoping the cast stays well or those who have picked up the flu or H1N1 going around will be well the first two weekends in November!!  We heard today that 19% of the school district was home sick with something......there are confirmed cases of H1N1 in every school.  If we hit the 20% mark the schools will be closed for a week.  

Next weekend (Oct 31 & Nov.1) we are all hoping to take a trip to Grand Rapids to see Rachelle.....she just informed us that there are a couple of confirmed cases of the swine flu on her floor and her friend that she eats lunch with and has a couple of classes with now has a headache, fever and is achy all over!!  I'm praying we all stay healthy!!!  It'll be fun to see her again.....skype is great but not the same a visiting in person :o)  I hope you are all well...I'll try to get some pictures up with the next blog.  Take care and love you,  the Veenstra's in WI
