September 2023

September was filled with schoolwork, one last swim party, birthday celebrations, and lots of (HOT!) football games!

Titus woke up early one morning and found a Bible to read by Dave.

Labor Day break!  Games of Connect Four

Dishes (always!)

Dave finished our bathroom over Labor Day weekend! (The mirror was hung after this picture.)

It is so beautiful!

We hosted a big Labor Day swim party!

We also went to 3 services on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.  The morning started off with the fire alarms going off in the Children's Building!  Josiah made a note of the truck number on his sermon notes, along with the note "false alarm."  

Titus loves to dress up - hats, shoes, glasses!

We moved Titus to his bed!  (This only lasted a few weeks.  As of now, he's back in his crib.)

Picture day at CDA!

School pictures - looking so grown up!

A hot football game at McKinney Christian Academy

After the game, we went to the new Portillo's location in Grandscape!  It was a fun family night!

a hot morning at the park - both Tex and Titus were worn out!

25th Anniversary Carnival at CDa

both Isaac (pep band) and Emma (cheering) on the field

While we were at the CDA carnival, Pop and Josiah went to Daniel's rodeo. 

My parents hosted a lovely birthday lunch for me after church.  The meal was filled with all my favorite foods - tater tot casserole, chocolate cake, and apple crisp.  It was such a special time together!  We've celebrated many happy birthdays at my parent's home!

Birthday gifts! 

Dave and the kids bought me a new coffee mug, baking dishes, and a fall scented candle.

FaceTiming with Mom-o - Titus is always concerned with pushing the "red button" :)

Josiah gave Titus his Mickey blanket, and he sleeps with it nearly every night.  He is very interested in my  stuffed Mickey and Minnie that Grandpa Ken gave me from Disneyland in 1986.  Titus made the association that the stuffed Mickey is the same character as the Mickey on the blanket.  He says "Mickey!" and "Minnie!"
