An apple a day...

September rounds these parts has been more like July. Today, we went with Kate and Liam to pick some apples, Honeycrisp to be exact. At $2.25 a pound, its a bargain compaired to the market. The raspberries were still in full glroy so we picked several pints as well. It was a great day.

Eight down...

Italian influence!

Thanks for the scarves Nini & Papa. We haven't taken them off yet!

Septemberfest

We spent the weekend in the parking lot at school celebrating Septemberfest! Rides, games, food, beer, music, and lots of friends... Addie proclaimed it was the best day ever. Sunday morning Mass was celebrated on the lawn- another perfect 80 and sunny kinda day. More rides, and lots of fun! Here is Addie and her friend Trinity - face painted and collecting tickets in the beer tent (um, ask Clint...).

Glug, glug

Swim lessons start again this week.

Jamberry

We found the greatest little farm about 20 minutes south of our house where we can pick the most delicious raspberries! We've been twice and I am thinking about going again...
Here is a lovely shot (styled by Kate) of the jam that Mary and I made.

Sabine's first day of school!

My beautiful butterfly

My Mary is off to pre-K this morning in the Butterfly Room at Fraser. She is very excited and has been waiting her turn as patiently. Miss Robin is her teacher and Mary already knows her from a short stint in the Firefly room. Her friends Caroline and Bethie are also in her class. Mary has always been a little hesitant at drop-but I think this is the year she has blossomed!
