September

More memories. Monday 9/2  was Labor Day and of course there was no school for William. Papa took him to Huntsville in Alabama because he likes space things so much.

It was a successful long weekend helping Helen with her house. But then on Tuesday we had to drive back to Virginia.

Back home we had the surprise that the Kousa dogwood looked the nicest it has ever looked. And just now writing this (looking up how to spell it) I read that the berries are edible. Next year!??

We like going for walks in the neighborhood. This night the sundown was stunning. The color changed so fast one almost shouldn't blink. It's the little things in life...

And then it was finally Thursday September 5 for Caleb. He had been waiting for it. It was his first day of Kindergarten. 

Everybody was there for the send-off. 

Colin had found the toy camera and took photos just like his Mommy.

Waiting at the designated school bus stop. And there it is.

OMG, Owen is kissing his brother bye. Can you see it in this photo? He is on tippy toes.

Here is the crop.

A few days later: celebrating the twins birthday. The fun bus! The guest/siblings had a lot of fun.

And that was only the first half of the month. Being retired is a full-time job.
