September news!!

Ok, so now on to September! We started off the month with Jonathan heading to Virginia Tech to watch a football game. So, the kids and I got together with some friends and went to the Bug Box and then to the mall. It was tons of fun and a good time was had by all. The funny part is one of these friends has lots of Asian in her so she gets a kick out of how everybody probably thinks Chloe is hers:)

We spent Labor Day hanging out with many friends as well as cooking out. It was a nice day. Before we went there, we went on what we thought would be a short hike near our house. It turned out to be a VERY long hike. Chloe fell asleep on Jonathan's shoulders. She slept almost the entire time. We were able to see several deer right in front of us on the path. A turtle almost lost his life and we walked and the kids almost stepped on him. He was busy eating a mushroom. So, it was a great family day!!

The annual Davis' reunion was also held during September. We headed to NC and stayed at my dads on Friday night. We got there late, but hung out for a little while. Then Papa made a wonderful breakfast to enjoy. He also of course showed off his garden and such to the kids. We then headed to Kinston to the reunion. There were many extras included this year that we had never met. It was neat and the kids had fun. Chloe enjoyed running around and ate many cobs of corn. Next, we were off to Greenville to Danny and Carol's to watch an ECU football game. Nana Jo and Granddaddy also joined in the fun and we all hung out. The next morning, we were again treated to a superb breakfast. I also gained a new fascination for a waffle iron. So, I am now the proud owner of a brand new waffle maker!! The kids and I have enjoyed homemade waffles quite often. It was a weekend that went way too fast, but was loads of family and fun.

We celebrated Wendy's birthday this month as well as Isaiah's. Wendy and Matt came over to the house and we cooked for them. I also made waffle brownies for dessert which were tasty. Isaiah's birthday was at the Lake of the Woods fire department. The boys were thrilled to visit and enjoyed themsleves.

This month, we visited Hartland Orchard. Church friends had recommended this place highly. So, we decided to go see what it offered. It was a beautiful fall day to head towards the mountains and pick apples. We did lots of walking, but we ate enough apples to keep ourselves fueled. The boys enjoyed being able to climb the trees to pick apples and Chloe just enjoyed eating many apples.

At the end of the month, Pillar Church had its own outreach. We showed the movie Cars outside for the Dumfries area. We set up blankets and chairs and had popcorn and drinks. It was exciting and fun although it did get a tad bit chilly as the night worn on. Even with that, it was a nice night.

Well, wow, I have completed all of August and September in one day. Aren't you guys proud????? Now, I can maybe add some pictures for yal:)
