October Steve & Jack's Home News

Welcome Fall!! We hope you have enjoyed your summer and are ready for some cooler Fall temperatures, which also brings with it football season! After last night's Colts' performance, we could be in for a very long season.

Our family is looking forward to a very short trip to North Carolina to see our youngest cousin finally get married. He has been living in Japan for several years, so we haven't even met his fiancee, so we are excited to see him again and have the entire family together for the first time in about 20-years!

Since Fall Break is an entire week for the first time for us this year, we are heading to Vermont with Jack & Mary Anne for our annual family trip together. Should be the perfect time to see the leaves changing and just relax for several days with no real plans.

Soccer, gymnastics, & Indianapolis Children's Choir are back in full swing again and the kids are keeping us extremely busy, but they love it! Tali's kindergarten experience has been terrific and we couldn't be happier with her teacher who is also a neighbor of ours. Ana has had a great experience in Intermediate School. It is so much bigger than Elementary School, but her teachers are unbelievable and she looks forward to going to school each day. Very thankful we are!

Thank you to everyone who attended the September Happy Hour at Matt The Miller's last week! Please note that due to Fall Break, we will be hosting October's Happy Hour on the second Wednesday of the month-October 14th from 5-6:30PM. Please join us if you can make it, even if only for a few minutes.

We hope you are saving the date for our VIP Client Appreciation Event again this year. Due to scheduling conflicts it is being moved back a week to Saturday, December 12th. You will be receiving Save The Date cards and invitations soon. Please do RSVP, so we have an accurate headcount for food, drinks and to ensure there are enough seats for everyone. As always, the entire family is welcome!!! We are waiting on a final confirmation from the theater to announce the movie, but it will be a good one!
