The month of September was spent adjusting to a new schedule with a kindergartner. Life changes completely when they go to school, and you begin living for the weekends again. Where before you could miss school, and had more days off, the pressure to be in attendance is higher now (especially with our little type A man, who doesn't want to miss). The afternoons are longer since he gets out at 1:50, which means naps are cut shorter in order to pick Austin up. We have it figured out now though, and I am sure adjusting to a greater amount of homework next year will be an issue.
Of course we still have our weekends to chill out at the bayhouse.

Braeden is such a nature lover. He is interested in bugs, plants, rocks, dirt, dinosaurs, and anything outside. I can't wait to see if he turns out to be a scientist like a botanist, astronomer, geologist, or paleontologist.
September is also Ovarian Cancer Awareness month, and I work hard each year to spread the word about this disease to everyone I know. The last two years (beginning at least a month ahead), I have been making teal colored bracelets to hand out with information about ovarian cancer. I give them out to as many people as I can, and hope that when they get the bracelet, it will remind them to pray for this disease to be cured, or remind them to pass the information about it on to someone else.
This year I attached them to cards that I got from the Teal Toes website (for free) and another card with the address of my blog on Ovarian Cancer. I passed out over 200 of them this year, and hope to pass out more next year!
Also in September Braeden started his last year of preschool and Colton started his first year of Mother's Day Out. Here they are on their first day.
