September 2021

The girls got full swing into school this month, and Briggs started preschool!  He's in the three's with Ms. Betsy, one of Lily's sweet teachers when she was two!  I kind of can't believe he's in school, even though he should have been last year... maybe more so because he didn't go last year.  He's been at my side the whole time, and now he's off four days a week.  I think he's loving lots of it, and yet it's a big change for him too.  We're both getting there. ;)

We got to go back to Festival in the Park this year, visited Van Gogh Live, and celebrated JJ's birthday.  And happy 21 months to our beep-beep loving Crew.

Charley's is the heart drawing on the top.  It was on the cover of our church bulletin -- how she depicted the 23rd psalm.

Van Gogh, Live.  

Last time in the Southpark Disney Store.

And Anna in her new dress up. :)

Open house for B!

Oh, boys.  Life with big sisters.

Off to preschool!!! Four day 3's.

"May" is how Crew says "man."  So this is our little may.

Helping Grandpa put together our new shelves.

Parent observation!

So sweet... Crew looking at the family portrait Lily drew last year and pointing when I say everyone's names.

Carpool life.  I have to say, the girls are doing the bus most afternoons, and that is fun for them and great for me.  But some days are like this. :)

Teacher workday for the girls means they got to walk Briggs into school!

"No reason" chocolate cake turned Barbie bday party!

Lil & C's "house of bling" (inspired by a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie).

Charley's self portrait in chalk. :)

Carowinds!  Lily had a special day because her friend Maia joined us, and I got some special time with Charley girl.

When I asked her to warm-up I really meant on the cello... ;)

Taking to piano!

Yoga. :)

School assignment.  Back atcha Charley!

Another tooth, gone!

Festival in the park (and back to where the girls met Peanut Butter and Geronimo)!

Happy Birthday, JJ!

I know you miss your sisters and brother when they're at school (me, too)... but here's to some one-on-one, Crew man!
