Lots to catch up on around here over the last two weeks or so…

Cuties on school mornings…

An uncharacteristically chilly morning in September!

Goodbye hug for my other cutie going to school…

Current favorite toy of both boys!

Carpool antics…

Spencer’s had ear troubles…noticed one day that he had dried blood coming out of his ear! eek! Took him in and he had an ear infection and a perforated ear drum! Oh no!

We did a round of antibiotics but then also had to go back up and add ear drops…

and then were back up there this week for another ear infection and a fever/sore throat virus! He’s had it rough!

We loved having our evacuee visitors here for over a week…

After school art projects!

We celebrated Margaret’s birthday!

Always busy. Always fun.

Have a great weekend!

Hurricane Irma is not our friend. My parents left Naples Saturday morning to go to my brother’s house in Jupiter to ride out the storm. Thankfully, everyone is ok and my brother’s house sustained minimal damage. We do not yet know about Naples and our house there. I’m writing this Sunday night and the storm surge is still to come.

Unfortunately, Irma is seemingly making its way into Alabama with Tropical Storm force winds. Hopefully nothing bad will make it to Birmingham but we could have trees down and loss of power. I will update as I get more information about my family, our house, and Naples. Go away Irma….and don’t come back!

Monday afternoon update: Our family friend, Marc, was able to check on the house and it looks good! A little damage including roof tiles gone and landscape and screen enclosure damage but it’s all minor and fixable! The storm surges were nowhere near predicted levels and we had no flooding! It’s all pretty unbelievable considering the eye wall of this monster went right over Naples. So thankful our wonderful Naples fared so well! Bye bye Irma…and don’t come back!!

The weekend started on Thursday night when I decided we all needed to go out to dinner and for ice cream. Why not, right?!

Saturday brought a special early birthday treat for Maxwell. Lulu and Granddaddy came over for a birthday lunch and a trip to Dick’s! Just what my sports loving almost 7 year old wanted!

We stayed in Saturday night but did have quite the dance, dance, dance party at home!  💃🏼

Sunday was the kick off to the fall Sunday School season up at church so it was a fun morning to go because they had a bounce house and ice cream! Robert and I are going to be sunday school teachers for Samantha’s class this year. Well, us and 3 other sets of parents! We’ll take a good rotational job!

I also did some major closet clean-outs! 🙌🏻 A great weekend all around! Now who’s ready for the eclipse?!
