September wrap-up

September is one of the loveliest months of the year. The weather starts changing, and you can spend a ton of time outside without sweating constantly. This month unfortunately felt hotter than August, though! We are ready for a change of seasons.

Football season has started.

Grandma and Dave came down for a visit. They stayed at the Chickahominy camp ground in their camper van and we went over to visit one evening. We even celebrated Jane's birthday a little early.

We went to our street's annual Hurricane Isabel remembrance cookout.

Ben made a Millennium Falcon out of his biscuit one night.

This is how the twins get their breakfast in the mornings.

Hammock time with these two. We read lots of books!

I had to propagate the fiddle leaf fig again because he was getting too close to the ceiling. We'll see if this cutting survives. So far I'm 1 and 1. By the end of the month the "mother" plant has sprouted two new leaves! The baby still hasn't rooted.

We attended a fish funeral for a friend.

Lots of Busch Gardens time.

Rosie and Ben have been incorporating their names into their magna tiles designs.

We've played lots of card games - here Rosie dominated Chris in Go Fish.

Tent building has happened quite a bit this month.

CW is blooming and beautiful!

Just Rosie and our neighbor hanging around.

Ben got new socks and he had an epic battle where the socks all fought each other (they are Marvel characters). It lasted almost an hour! 

Lots of playing at the bus stop!

Rosie can do the splits!

Rosie's new jam has been listening to music with her headphones on and singing at the top of her lungs. 

We went to a William and Mary volleyball game. They beat Stonybrook 3 sets to 0.

We had a moms and older girls night. Eleanor and Hannah cooked for us and we watched the Barbie movie together.

Jane was pleased to participate in a post-game soccer clinic at the William and Mary women's soccer game. She also got to get autographs and was very excited about it.

The last day of September is super rainy and we're hoping we'll start getting some crisp mornings! We are also so glad the first full month of school has gotten off to a great start!
