We went to the beach twice in September! First with Lucy, then a grownups-only weekend with friends.

Lucy has been busy: swim lessons, Trackers, experiments with hair, going to the dentist, and just being 8.

We have one random photo of Will, who nailed his spelling test. One day Becky and I made it all the way to the afternoon before realizing we were dressed the same. I’m really loving my new deep fryer. And the dogs keep me company while I’m working.

Becky did a fashion shoot at Strut Salon, got her ribs x-rayed, gave curious Lucy a beginner’s lesson in Lightroom, enjoyed our backyard view, and received a plant from a dear friend with a tag dedicated to Dorothy.

Puppies!
