September Fun













































September has zipped by. The weather has been absolutely amazing, pretty much 70's all month with some good sunshine. We hit the apple orchard over Labor Day, so those visits will continue. There were baby goats that were just 5 days old! Hallie had her pre-school orientation on Monday and started her first official day today. She absolutely loved it and is excited to go back. Paige thought she'd like to stay as well. She'll go on M/W/F afternoons. The girls and I are heading down to Morton on Friday for the Pumpkin Festival and my high school reunion. Should be lots of fun.

Happy 4th Birthday Hallie!















































We got some warmer weather in August, so the girls got to enjoy some pool time outside. They love the water. We celebrated Hallie's 4th b-day last weekend with family and it was a good time. They stayed at the hotel, so we got to go swimming at the pool too. Hallie wanted jellyfish on her cake...and a volcano, so I opted for using gummies that I found online and we've got an ocean/beach/volcano combo. Thanks Grandma for assistance with the frosting. Hallie helped me make the clams and the kids had jellyfish dogs as well. It was a fun theme.

The new job is going well. Students returned yesterday and Mother Nature decided to rain on us for move-in, but eventually we dried out. Orientation is going well and classes start Monday. Hard to believe it's almost September.
