Phew.

Sometimes I just take a picture of the calendar to see what we lived through in the last 30 days...

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary!!!

Women's Retreat at Spalding

The Women's Retreat at Spalding was memorable this year--shared room with Kristie, Amber, and Cynthia--massage!--Marliyn Vancil spoke about the Enneagram--retro worship performances.

Basement Flooring IN!!!

The Many Faces of Joshua Scott

The night got away from us...

 ...what a flashlight!

MMM--Mommy Monday, The Rocket Edition

Micah and I took Granny to the Rocket on Garland today...he's quite the entertainer.

Brooke's Birthday

September Shenanigans

 On this particular Granny day, we took her down to Nordstroms to get shoes.  Micah was a stellar shopper...as soon as we started talking about lunch at Tomato Street.  :)

 Lochhead family, complete with belly-buttons

 Splendor on a night that Dad had a session meeting

 Two-legged carrots?!?

And the very safe habit of walking home while reading.  :)

Nelsie Turns 4!

THREE in Soccer...

JOSH--Josh played SYSA this year with Kai.  We put them in with their age group, and it turns out the two of them towered over the others!  Love the third picture with Josh and Kai in the huddle...

MICAH--This was Micah's first year of soccer and he entertained us all with his non-stop animation while playing. His coach kept telling the kids to "get feisty" and when he asked who wanted to make a goal, Micah hopped up and down with his had in the air.  A great first year.

GRACE--This was Grace's second year with Gina McGlocklin as her coach.  The church friends who were on the team last year--Lily and Syndney--decided not to play this year, so Grace made the most of her year bonding with Colbert and Meadow Ridge girls.

Cassie's BIG birthday

Cassie turned 40 this year!  A great excuse to meet for drinks after work.

The Last First Day of Preschool

 Micah started his second year of preschool at Colbert Pres Co-op!  This year Miss Brenna is his teacher (and there are a handful of mom helpers).

 Buddy Boyd!!!

After Mom's first day of volunteering, she was too tired to make lunch--so we did Arby's at Pineriver Park.
