End of August

Hello Friends! We have ended another busy month and jumped into September with both feet! We were able to visit with our favorite Atlanta cousins: Catch up with one of my BFFs from high school, Laura, and her oldest daughter, Lyla: (our oldest girls!) Get some snuggling in with her Daddy: Make Kate's 1st visit to Home Depot (and her Daddy did dress her! He was so proud to have her in a tutu for her 1st visit to HD. You could tell all of the other dad's in the store approved!)

Say Bye to Uncle Blake for him to go back to UT :( Laugh at me:

Push up and off her mat. If I leave the room, she is gone. I am not sure how she does it because she lays perfectly still if I am watching, but as soon as I turn my back, she is off the mat! Don't worry, Bandit! I am almost there! Relax in the pool (Or in Kate's case, do yoga in the pool! If you lay her on her back, she immediately curls up to do her "crunches." I think she is going to be the only 6 month old I know with a 6 pack!) Help with a beautiful baby shower for Baby Miles Breeden Ice cream bar! Notice my pickles-n-ice cream in the center! (Tricia, another use for dipped nutter butters!)Kate and the seamstress of her dress!She really does love Lizzy! Don't cry, Natalie! Not to self, do not let Dan hold Kate. Wish Luke Good Luck on his first day of school (He was the first one called on, the first day, the first class!)

Snuck in cupcakes for Aunt Megan's birthday at school! And helped Uncle Jake and Daddy with a Lego fort! I can't believe Labor Day is already here. I feel like that is the summer finale, and now it is time to focus on my favorite season, FALL! I actually like the changing of every season because it gives me a sense of starting and finishing something now that I no longer have semesters! My fall decor is out, the pumpkin candles are burning, and I even wore a fleece the other morning leaving work. Happy Fall Yall!

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,

And, like a dream, glides away.~
