September

Happy September. This month brings the start of many birthdays in a row. My Grandma (Garrison) turned 95 yesterday. How cool is that? Unfortunately she had to spend it in the hospital but she had some of her kids with her to make the day special. Leo's Grandma celebrated 80 years yesterday as well. Happy Birthday Mombo! (Did you know - our paternal grandma's share a birthday as well. What are the chance of that?) Today is Uncle Timmy's birthday. You're catching up to me Old Man!

In much less happy news, a friend of ours down here just passed. Jennifer Andrews was our Realtor and friend since she helped us find our house three years ago. She came to one of our New Years parties, we went to a hockey game with her family and thier neighborhood block party. She was even at our wedding. We knew she was sick but seemed to make a bit of a come back a few months back when we got a letter from her letting her clients know she would be reaching out and getting back on her feet. Other friends who saw her more frequently called to tell us the news. She had heart problems which later led to liver and kidney issues. Unfortunately she suffered. She was only 36. I am most sad for her family and her 7 year old son. Leo and I will be going to her funeral on Friday. It is so awful, yet I am so glad to have known her. So give your families extras hugs today.

Thankfully the weather has turned and it's been an amazing few days of 80 degrees (or less), no humidity and wonderful breezes. My kind of weather.

Not much else. Just growing and playing over here as usual. Mr. Nathan is on to Sweet Potatoes and frozen grapes in this little teething thing he can suck on without choking. He is currently on his belly half having fun, half complaining. When he figures out crawling, which I swear is mere weeks away, I am in so much trouble. He sees things and wants them. NOW! Even in his bouncy seat he sits forward and nearly tips himself out because he wants to be on the move. Oh boy . . .
