Where did September go????

The month of September came and went ever so quickly. But it did bring us lots of wonderful blessings. We enjoyed a fun pool party with lots of our friends for Labor Day. Aubree is no longer afraid to jump right in the water and can swim all over the place. It is such a delight to watch her skills develop. We also enjoyed one last day at Splash Kingdom before they closed for the season. We have made so many great memories this summer. We welcomed the cooler weather and are glad to see the beautiful changes fall is bringing us. Aubree started Kingdom Kids at the church on Wednesday evenings recently. I volunteered to help with the pre-k class and it has been a blessing to us both. I enjoy learning and participating in the worship along with Aubree. This month I also celebrated another birthday in style. It kicked off the Friday night before my birthday with my inlaws taking us out to eat at Salt Grass. Then on Saturday I met 5 of my dear friends for lunch. We had a great time catching up and then we went out with a another group of friends and our lil ones Saturday evening to Shenanigans for some good food, glow in the dark bowling and lots of fun. Sunday after church Mom and Mema and I finally went to see "The Help". It was a great weekend and I felt so loved by everyone. One of my favorite things about fall is football season. Kerry and I love to watch the Texas Longhorns and the Cowboys and well really just about any game that is on. Being back in our home town we also enjoy following the G.S. Indians as well. We recently enjoyed fellowshipping with some old friends at our high school Homecoming football game. It was a great game and we had such a fun time. Bree had her first sleepover with two of her dear friends after the game. The girls watched movies, ate popcorn and were up til the wee hours of the morning giving each other makeovers. I am glad they had so much fun and it brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood sleepovers. I have been doing great and lil Mr. Aydan is growing and kicking around all over the place. Mom and I went to have a 3D Sonogram done last week by a dear friend from college. I am so amazed at how much he looks like his big sister when she was a baby. I can't wait to meet him and hold him in my arms. We got a new four legged addition to our family last week. A friend was looking for a new home for their year old, yellow lab. I was already well acquainted with him because he joins me a lot of times on my walks. Knowing what a sweet and pretty pup he was I mentioned him to Kerry over lunch and as soon as we finished eatting we went to take a better look at him. Kerry is a lab lover so I wasn't surprised when he immediately fell in love. Aubree had gone to see Dolphin Tale with her Bebe and cousins and when she got back he was already waiting on her at our house. She loved her surprise!! First thing she said to me when she woke up the next Morning was, "Your the best Mom in the world. Thank you for my new dog." It melted my heart. I am so glad she is such a lil "animal whisperer". We enjoyed a fun family trip to the Rangers game on Saturday with Kerry's family. They had already clinched their spot the game before but it was still a great win and lots of fun. We have had so many great blessings in September and I am ever so thanful for all the memories we are making.
