News from the Falls!

We have had a busy crazy fall so far.  Madison has been playing Volleyball for the Central Mustangs and they had a great run.  We had district tournaments last weekend and took third in our district.  This is a huge accomplishment for our girls.  Our district has some of the toughest teams in the state and Belt will probably end up winning state.  They are pretty fun to watch...a very talented team.  So our divisional tournament was this weekend.  We didn't fair so well in Conrad.  But it was a fun season and now we get a break for a couple weeks before basketball season begins. 
During the break, Maddie is going to the National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis.  She is very excited for this experience.  We are thrilled that she is thrilled!! 
My work is going well.  My job description has changed a bit and my main function is recruitment which is really hard for me.  But I am trying different things and hopefully we will get "more butts in the seats".  I also spent a good portion of the summer writing a $225,000 grant and am anxiously waiting to hear about that.  Hopefully, it will be granted and our school will upgrade our library, middle school science lab and technology in the classrooms.  Big excitement!
Jim is busy working and a bit happy that construction season is coming to an end for the year.  That means reffing season must be quite close.  So he is getting ready for that season.  He is in charge of his ref pool so he inputs all the games and then schedules refs for each game.  Crazy amount of work for a volunteer job!
Sam is really enjoying MSU and Bozeman.  He likes his classes and is enjoying ROTC except for the 6:00 am PT and Class....and keeping his hair cut short and shaving every day!!  Oh well~
Nick is doing ok.  He is ready to be done and home again.  They are not looking forward to the next month and a half.  I would imagine that the holiday season is the hardest for sure.  I know I am not happy about him being gone!  He is job hunting and trying to make some plans post Kuwait.  I know he will be fine...
Jake has 7 1/2 months left in his residency.  He is working nights right now and it sucks!  He still enjoys what he is doing so that is good.  he is beginning to look at post residency possibilities.  Should be interesting to see where he ends up.  I keep saying Montana is a great place to land!!
Miranda just gave the run down of the Meunier family.  They are busy as ever!  And we loved having the kids here this summer!
The biggest news we have to share is that we are going to be grandparents again!!  Ben and Adrienne are expecting a baby girl in March.  We are very excited and love that they are close in Butte.  Ben is looking for work close to Butte but not having too much luck yet.  I know he will find something,,,he always seems to!

So that is the Wingy news.  The Moore family continues to grow!!
love you all and enjoy this wonderful fall season~

Alright!!! What an update. Sounds like everyone is going 100 mph in every direction possible! What fun! Kind of sounds like what the Moore family is known for doing. Congrats on the soon-to-be new addition to the family, I am excited that the family continues to grow! Will be keeping Jake and Nick in my prayers as they both finish up this part of their lives and look forward to setting up something for the road to come. Thanks for the update! Hope to see most of you around the holiday season!

Wow! That is big news about the baby! I hope Ben can find something new Adrienne so that they can be a family! So glad that Maddie had a fun season! That is the biggest part of the game. We pray for Nick and will include Jake in the process. Would be fun to have him closer. I have to get my box in the mail to Nick.
