A Surprise . . .

. . . that sent me to my knees in tears.



Some September Snapshots

I'm her loudest cheerleader - and biggest all-around fan!

Matching uniform colors and numbers!
Playing with Aunt Sandy - she came to visit our mom.

We were able to bring Mom to my house each afternoon from the rehab center.

It's so good to see her smile.  She and McKenna are very close.

Random Moments

Our 22nd wedding anniversary was on August 1.  We had a nice dinner and then wandered about Thanksgiving Point for a bit.  We didn't have time to go through the gardens, but we stood on the balcony and enjoyed the view.  Maybe next year?

Tessa went to Maddie M.'s birthday party at our neighbor's pool.  Always a fun day when the mix includes water, giggly girls, and birthday cake.
