September was an absolute whirlwind month. God answered a lot of prayers and I got offered a new job (my dream job at the company, truly!) and that allowed Matt to have a much needed conversation with his boss about the need to go to first shift.
We were prepared for him to have to find a different job but they fought for him to stay, which is a huge testament to his work ethic and value he brings to the organization. I'm so proud of him!
Through it all, we had a lot of fun and made a lot of great memories. What a September!

| Playing at the splash pad at Minnehaha falls on a very warm labor day weekend |
 |
| Daddy and daughter with their walking sticks |
 |
| Mama and baby. She wore this outfit a lot this summer and I will remember it fondly :) |
 |
| She started doing this game where she would scoop up water and come and dump it by our feet. She loved it and would giggle all the way over to dumping it. So cute! |
 |
| Carbo loading before a run! |
 |
| We made an attempt at potty training in August, had some success but eventually threw in the towel when we couldn't get Brinley to go #2 in the potty. We tried again in Sept but still didn't have much luck. Go figure it would take until Feb. for it to stick. :) |
 |
| Very (ahem) lovely pic of me before my 20 mile run. I do remember thinking "what the heck am I doing!" though. |
 |
| The next time I'd see this view would be for the marathon. :) |
