September Adventures

We have been busy getting into our new routine. Having Ellie in school has been a new adjustment and reorganization of our time. Mia, Quinn and I are also back to bible study once a week, Quinny has started swim lessons and Ellie is back to Awana. We went on good adventures in September and Quinny started Mommy school. It has been a busy month, but a fun one!

 Love taking this animal lover to the zoo for play dates! She loves the animals!!

 Sweet Mia!

We are a bike riding family now! I grew up riding bikes with my family very regularly and Ben and I are excited to ride with our girls in whatever form we need to! These two are loving the bike trailer!

 Quinny started swim lessons!

 The first day the pool won as she screamed each time they took her from the wall. They suggested a Mommy and Me class and so...

 we BEAT the pool! Quinn is getting more confident with each lesson! Though it wasn't the ideal for Mommy to take lessons too and we are trying to get her comfortable with separation, it is working well and they know our goals and she is succeeding. I will do what it takes for her to be a success at anything she strives for, so if that means I am jumping in the pool each week for lessons together, then I am doing it!

 We have learned to play some serious card games around here!

 We have been cooking treats for Ellie to come home to!

 GrannyFranny knows this girl's heart! When she sends clothes, these girls are over the moon and they are always perfect! Quinny LOVES animals and could not wait to wear this the next day to church! Her giraffe dress was perfect as they started the story of creation at church!

 We were invited to a preview night at Chik-Fil-A! It was an awesome experience! In the South, Chik-Fil-A is everywhere, but here, this is only the 3rd one in the area and one of the few places around we can get SWEET TEA! I am a Southern girl and sweet tea is a must! We got to taste a sampling of everything as they served us and prepared to open. It was something we had no idea what to expect, but was really amazing! This one is styled in a completely different way, I call it kind of farmhouse chic. I have never seen one this way and it was really a cool environment and of course the service was amazing as it is Chik-Fil-A.

 A little sad that her frozen lemonade was all gone!

 One little lady is tired of getting left behind, so she conquered the stairs!

 Working at our Mommy school!

 Some days are just so tiring!

 Every morning we walk Ellie to school and this morning they held hands the whole way! Be still my heart!

This little lady has been cooking up a storm!
