September went really fast. Finishing unpacking, getting settled - having Lucy and Kate start school while Jaydon went off track, Mariners, swimming, volleyball, cooking, kiddie amusement park...we had a fun and busy month getting our feet under us and settling in.
For Jaydon's birthday we have often gone to a Mariner's game, this year the M's happened to be playing in Oakland over his birthday weekend. We were excited to go and watch them get a victory!
There were even some fireworks for us to enjoy after the game and bask in our victory...

Jaydon's extended birthday
We are bummed we didn't get to see Aubrey play volleyball for WWU in person this year but we got to watch most of her matches on the TV
| Jaydon's school project, make a self portrait when you are 100. |
Jaydon learned to cook eggs and has been a master egg maker for us.
Lucy's first day of school!
| She had a great day and was excited to share it with Lily. |
Kate's first day of preschool!
| Lily really seems to like our new house |
I took the kids to a healthy kids fair day at a nearby aquatic center, they had a great time (it was super hot, I wish I was in the pool too).
