The month of September is jam packed with birthday celebrations!!! Three in our house...and the numbers go up as you move to extended family! Fiona, Scott and I enjoyed our individual parties here at home, and one big bash at Gammy and Gampy's. Then a delicious brunch gathering at Scott's aunt and uncle's home for the SIX Jason birthdays in September!
We have also welcomed fall with a warm day in the orchard gathering macintosh and cortlands. School...well, that's another "season" to be welcomed. It is always rough coming off of fun filled summer adventures, and diving back into our studies. I would be lying if I said we just hop back into the routine. Have you ever tried waking a 12 and 14 year old up early and motivating them to start their math work? BUT things like art class with their favorite teacher Ann, and returning to regular practice schedule with their climbing team make things exciting.
