Many moons ago, we lived just outside of Boston, MA.  During our stay there, we purchased a snow shovel.  Well, that snow shovel continues to serve us well in the south.  Its latest use was moving mulch from our driveway to the various parts of the yard in need.  

Our sweet friend, Daisy, continues to visit each month and receive treatment for brain cancer.  She is staying strong and we are blessed for knowing her and being a part of her journey.  I am thankful Maddox can provide her a bit of normalcy as they play together each visit.  There are a lot of laughs between these two!

Chapman had school pictures and I had to snap my own as we were going in.  She is just so cute and loves going to school to play with her friends.

 Pryce and some of his football teammates joined together at a local church for breakfast and a sermon by the former head coach at Alabama. 

 Sitting at dinner one evening, I noticed Maryn's hair looked a bit odd.  At first I thought it was the lighting but the more I looked, I just couldn't be sure.  I asked her if she had cut her hair and she didn't hesitate in denying her involvement.  Normally, if Maryn is guilty in a situation, she will not deny or admit anything.  Instead, she will just stare at us with her big, brown eyes....and she is good at this, she doesn't give in.  But on this night, she immediately said no.  I kept looking at it from across the table and finally asked her to come to me.....yep, she had cut her hair!  

 Chapman adores our Fall decor.

 We kicked off Fall by going to see a local production of Charlotte's Web.  It was a fabulous production and included some of our favorite people!

 Chapman loved the geese!

 And we were all thrilled to see Mrs. Duncan for her debut stage performance!  

Fall Break consisted of one full day with 5 children home, one day home with 4 children home, one day with 2 children home, a hurricane in the midst, and two days with 3 children home.  So, six children, 5 schools, 4 different Fall break calendars....I love this yet to outsiders, it looks a bit crazy. 

 All that led us to enjoy some time with friends, explore the canal to find treasures, bike rides, painting time with sisters, Scrabble with my big guy, studying for P, baking her first ever cake for MK, swimming and more swimming because in October it is still 85+ degrees on any given day, going to movies, and most importantly, taking naps!  A week of just time together and it was perfect in every way!  

Also kicking off Fall, school spirit week for Maddox and Maryn!  Their school will send pics throughout the day and I was so excited to receive this one of Maddox and her BFFL, Brooklyn, dressed as twins!

Fall is off to a fabulous start!
