What a month! Lots going on... but, have to take some time to document more highlights.

Early in the month, DZ had a rush social at Arrington Vineyards. Despite tradition, it didn't rain, lol, and we had a number of new, interested ladies join us. We had some wine, some food, and we got to talk about BSP. I'm hopeful a few of the ladies decide to join us :)













That same weekend, Christy threw Jen's baby shower. Christy did an amazing job of putting on a camping themed shower... it was just awesome. Tons of rustic decorations, yummy soup and snacks, and a great time all around.






























I volunteered to help out with the game, but after doing some research and talking to Christy, I decided to put on a make-your-own onsie craft. I am super proud of myself for pulling this thing off. Even right up until the day before the shower I was debating about doing it... I had printed off back-up activities - a camping search and find and crossword puzzle. But, I bucked up and went to Michael's! I bought 5 camping color fabric 4x4s, iron-on sheets, and fabric pens. I made camping themed templates out of paper plates and bought the onsies. And, we did it!

They turned out SO cute!! And, everyone seemed to really enjoy the activity.














At the shower, the girls surprised me and gave me two wonderful going away presents. I was totally not expecting it and kept saying it was Jen's shower... but, they didn't care. It was the last time we'd all be together. They gave me a wonderful card and two pictures. The first one I pulled out got me crying... it was a collage picture of all our kids over the last year or so on canvas. The second was a framed 8x10 of the group picture of all of us from Beginning Day. I love and cherish them both... and, they will be hung in my home with pride.

Once we got home from Dad's wedding, we had a week before we were heading out of town for good... so, I got going and listed a bunch of stuff on Craigslist. We were pricing things well because we sold the crib and dresser, our dining room set, the old big screen TV, some poker chips (thanks, Isabelle!), the Wii Fit.. and, I think that's it :)

Here's the pic of our dining set that went.















And, September 30 was my last day at work... A really, really hard day that will be posted about separately.

So, to wrap up the month, here are some of the best pics that didn't fit in another post :)

We drove through Metropolis on our way to Pop's house... here's Jack-Superman!
















And, Jackson is all about being The Hulk, which means no shirt and shorts... as demonstrated here in our hotel room.



















Uncle Ben was with us for most of this month, too... couldn't resist posting this shot of him with Jack :)















Jackson got some new pj's... that Mary Grace wanted to wear, too, lol.















MG really likes Woody and Jessie... here is a pic of her saying, "Yeeee-Haaaaa!"















She's been sleeping in her big girl bed fairly well... but, we still find her on the floor some nights!















And, art from Jack... if you look near the top, you can see how he wrote his name :)















and, Little Miss















September was our last month in Tennessee... hectic and bittersweet, but the last in a long line of fabulous months here.
