We made it through September and the kids are still in school - hooray! The number of COVID cases has doubled in our area since classes started at the beginning of the month, but there have been no big explosions and we have not had any cases yet at Sophie’s school, Davey’s preschool or in the classes that Dave teaches at the university. I’m crossing my fingers that it will stay that way for as long as possible. Just these few weeks of having life be somewhat normal again has been so good for everyone’s mental health and I think it will be hard if or when we have to go back to social isolation.
September also meant the start of soccer season for Sophie! We did not play last spring (covid) so she was so excited to play again. Dave is coaching again, but it's a new group of girls because they reform teams for every season. Because he is coaching however, Emery always gets to be on our team too and Sophie loves playing with her best friend. We hope it will be another good season!
We also had our had our first taste of fall when a cold front moved through and cooled things off rather drastically. One day it was 98 degrees, and then the next evening it had fallen all the way to the 20s - brrr! Us Texans were not ready for weather that cold and I had to go digging through the attic to find warm clothes for everyone in the right size. It rained a lot and we had big wind, and then a couple days later it was all over and now we’re back in the 80s.

You can tell fall is on it's way because there is just a slight chill in the air if we go out in the mornings. The days are still plenty hot, but sometimes we do need jackets.

Davey is our resident melon man
A funny post I saw on Facebook when the cold front moved through and froze all the Texans up in Amarillo. It's crazy how big Texas is and how different things can be for people all living in the same state.
We had to get out our winter gear for a chilly soccer practice
A change of seasons means it's time to change over the closets!
Davey went to a birthday party at Little Bees, a cute little play village. It's pricey so we had never been before and it was fun to try it out. Davey especially loved pretending to be a mail carrier and spent a lot of time delivering letters all around the town.
His best buddy Jaxon was also at the party
Charlie and Rossi were tag-alongs at the party and had a fun time taking care of all the babies in the pretend house.
One more birthday party for his friend Nolan

Charlie wanted to have his own ball at soccer, so I found this old outdoor volleyball for him to use. It is yellow! And has a happy face! He loves it!
My keys are always soggy thanks to this little guy
Davey and Charlie never take naps any more, but somehow I won the lottery one afternoon when they all decided to sleep at the same time.
