Remember September? It seems like September couldn't possibly be that long ago, yet here I am nearing the end of October (I am really trying to get everything caught up on this ol' blog, so at least my September wrap up is only one month late instead of two like August was) and as I look back at these photos, I think, "Man! That happened forever ago!" Anyway, September is one of my favorite months of fall; one of my favorite months of all. And this one was no exception. So many memories!

 |
| 9.4.18 (I had been asking Heather and Nate if the color changes we were seeing were due to autumn or drought, and then I saw this: plenty of water at park and those trees are changing already! It must be fall!) |
 |
| 9.4.18 (ooooh! happy backpack find today! I've been dreaming of these Scholastic Book Orders since Cal started school and now we got them! I think they're going to be really bad for my budget!) |

 |
| 9.6.18 (Sam loves to open the doors at school by pushing the button) |
 |
| 9.6.18 (week two of kindergarten looks like walking into the school all by herself and backpack bling (she noticed that many other backpacks were sporting things from their zippers and asked if she could put something on hers, too - I suggested a bead string and she maximized that option!)) |

 |
| 9.13.18 (we took advantage of an early (ish) game time to watch the Ags utterly dominate Tennessee Tech in Maverik Stadium - they won 73 to 12 (!!!) and even though we left in the third quarter so we could get home at a decent hour, we still saw plenty of scoring to fill our appetites!) |

 |
| 9.15.18 (a second sporting event in one week? wowza! we're here for RSL!) |
 |
| 9.15.18 (not quite as dominating a game - we were hoping for 6 goals since that's what they put up the previous two games, but instead we squeaked out with a 1-1 tie, and lucky that it wasn't a loss!) |
 |
| 9.17.18 (ripe crabapples at the library lookin' lovely) |
 |
| 9.17.18 (funny tree on our ride home from school) |

 |
| 9.24.18 (we went to Food Truck Night at the junior high and the kids were highly entertained by the Skyhawk mascot making the rounds among the crowds but they were too shy to get a posed photo with him so I snuck this one while we waited for our dinner from the Burger Bus) |
 |
| 9.24.18 (good grub!) |

 |
