September

Annie is learning to play the violin in orchestra at school! She is also starting Girls on the Run and is keeping up with her flexibility skills.

 

Mason and Kate are running Cross Country, so we've got lots of running practice after school.

 

Julie and Grant are doing soccer and David and I are coaching their teams.

 

We had our cousins, the Pierces, come visit!  We had a blast going swimming, going to Worlds of Fun, racing in the Temple Run, cheering at a Royal's game, eating at Fritz's, and playing at LegoLand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I went on two fun girls trips this month--one to Branson for Meghan's 40th birthday, and one to Boise for Jessica Weist's women's retreat.

 

 

I also went to meet Carlos Whittaker, a very kind author.  It was really fun to meet him.
