September Recap

These are some fun things that we've been up to this month: 

Dinner at Firehouse Subs

Did you know that you can get up to 2 free kids meals with every adult combo purchased at Firehouse Subs? Uh, hello - that's amazing. One night I cleaned the kitchen/mopped the floor and we took the kids out to dinner. It was a pretty special treat for them and we had a good time. 

Austin

 He's such a good helper. Plus, he loves taking pictures of himself on my phone. Oh, and he had his 2nd birthday! Which was wonderful and I can't believe how big he's getting.

House Projects with my Dad
For my birthday, I asked for my dad to come down and put in plugs in our basement so we could plug in our treadmill (and a TV, ha) without using an extension cord. Then he helped us with a whole handful of other house projects like finally getting our bikes hung in our garage. My dad is incredible and would do anything for us at any time and I'm so glad we got to spend the day with him (without me feeling like I was taking advantage of him, because - my birthday... right?!?)

MagnaTiles

 I've been looking to buy some of these MagnaTiles for a long time but they are so expensive. I saw a Groupon for them and my only, only regret is that I didn't buy two sets. The kids love them! And they are a fun thing for me to play with them, too - so it's a win for everyone. Now I just want a light table to use them on.

Birthday Celebrations

We have a lot of birthdays in September. It's just a great month filled with lots of cake and ice cream. Austin and Emily Cooper were pretty thrilled about the whole thing. 

David

These kids love their dad. So do I. 

Blogging

We made a concerted effort at the beginning of the month to catch up on all of our blogging from the summer and I think we pretty much did it! Whew. I'm so grateful that David is just as dedicated to recording our life and pictures as I am. Together, we make it happen. 

Beautiful Weather

We've had such beautiful weather throughout this whole month. We will be sad when we can't walk to church anymore! (I use "can't" loosely, because I realize that we still could - but I fully intend to start driving as soon as it gets cold.) Note: Lydia always wants to walk along all of the curbing and Austin follows her wherever she goes. Also, I love that David of mine. He's such a good dad. 

Baby #3

After telling our families and most of our friends - we went public with the news that we're expecting Baby #3. We are so excited about to have this little one join our family.
