September 2017

Before the full-on business of the school year got started, the kids and I got to relax and have a little fun over Labor Day weekend. The biggest milestone was Aubrey finally got the hang of riding her bike with no training wheels. We had been working forever on it, but she just wasn't trusting herself to do it. Something finally made it click and she was off.

We also spent an afternoon hiking at Latta Plantation and everyone seemed to enjoy their time.

Mason started his next season of soccer at Strikers. We've discovered he doesn't seem to like soccer as much as t-ball but soccer is still a sport so he's happy to participate.

After 1 particular soccer game, we finally got to experience the Duck Donuts in our area. Well worth every single calorie.

Both kids got to enjoy the fun run at school this year. While it was just another run for Aubrey, Mason was so excited to get to participate this year. He went with me last year to watch and was not thrilled about being on the sidelines. This year seemed even more impressive with all of the fun activities for the kids and they both seemed to have a blast.

The cheerleaders at the kids' school held a football cheer camp for the girls this year and surprisingly, Aubrey decided to participate. She didn't have the best experience cheering for football a few years ago so I wasn't sure she would go for this. But, I guess the fact that her friends were also cheering made a big difference. The girls put on a show at the football team's halftime and it was really fun to watch. It was also the first time we've been to a school football game.

The last big highlight of the month was that Todd and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month. It is still amazing to me that its been 10 whole years. It seems to have gone so fast but seriously still seems like yesterday. In honor of our anniversary, we took a quick trip to Savannah, GA. It was so much fun exploring the city and of course, eating the good food. We went to an awesome dueling piano bar, walked a good portion of the historic district, ate ice cream at Leopold's, drank some yummy beer, and then wrapped up our night by eating at Lady and Son's restaurant. Another place that was worth every single of the 10000+ calories we consumed. It was too quick of a trip but we have plans to go back and see more.
