August and September brought the end of summer, the beginning of the school year, and lots of fun memories!
We paid a semi-impromptu visit to Lissie's godfamily in Atlanta just before school started. On our way down, we stopped at a tasty dim sum restaurant on the recommendation from some of my mom's good friends. That first day, we also enjoyed a trip to the botanical gardens and a tasty Mexican dinner on the recommendation from other friends who used to live in the area. Saturday was spent hanging out with Amy and her family - we even ventured on the freezing Chattahoochie to go tubing! We always love spending time with them that we even made a plan to go camping with them the next month!

The start of school, as always, was a whirlwind. Lissie started third, Xavier started second, and I stayed in first.

Yet, even with all of the back to school activities, we still managed to go to the Williamson County Fair, albeit just for a little bit before the downpour began. I did feel bad since the kids spent their own money on their unlimited ride wristband that I compromised and told them that we could go back next year on my dime.

| At least we got our annual photo before the rain! |
We still had time for other adventures like bike rides to an old one-room schoolhouse, a trip to a friend of a friend of a friend's alpaca farm and some end-of-summer pool trips. The most fun was venturing out to a waterfall swimming hole over Labor Day weekend and stopping at a hole-in-the-wall Filipino restaurant nearby.

| Halo-Halo! |
Switching gears to September where our weekends were filled with cross country meets galore.

We also had our camping trip with Lissie's godfamily, which was probably the main highlight of the month.
We also went to Cheekwood Harvest to enjoy the scarecrows before I let our membership lapse, had fun at the Father Ryan Homecoming game with friends, a birthday date night, and hosted another successful meatball night to benefit the Gilda's Club in honor of their Lola!
Phew! What a whirlwind of a few months!
