September has been lots of fun as we celebrated Ryan's birthday and I had a long girls' weekend at the beach. Here are some of the other fun parts of the month too.
It was pretty warm one day, so we turned the sprinklers on for the girls to play in. Aberle joined in, and they had a great time splashing all around!
There was a spirit night at X-drenaline which Ryan took the girls to for a bit. Alyssa tagged along too. They decided to stop at KFC on the way home for dinner, and Danae was there to join in. These are such sweet girls.
Mia enjoys writing messages on her sparkly pillow. Her she is telling Bama she loves her.
Ryan recently taught Mia the secret to making perfect cheeseburgers. His are always just right, so I'm glad Mia is learning too!
We were so excited to go to the Tech versus Clemson game with Brandy and Aberle. We had a great time tailgating ahead of time. The girls got to meet several of the cheerleaders and see the Ramblin' Wreck up close.
We were in a great position for the Buzz Walk, so we easily saw the bands and cheerleaders walking by. We also gave lots of high fives to the players as they walked to the stadium.
It was a great day for a game! Unfortunately, Tech didn't stand a chance against #2 Clemson, but we still had a fun time and appreciated the Lutz's letting us go with them.
Lily always has something creative going on, whether it's cat-shaped handmade soap or crazy hairdos!
Decker is one loved and spoiled puppy dog!
Mia and Aberle are always up for some tree-climbing!
Ryan and I had tickets to the Paul Simon Farewell Tour. We saw him a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, so we were excited he came back. However, I ended up leaving for my girls' trip on the same night as the concert because I wanted to make sure I got down there and set up for everyone. Ryan decided to take his guitar teacher, Mark Miller, which worked out great. This was a good way to thank Mark for all that he's taught Ryan, and we knew he would truly enjoy the music. Ryan said this was one of the best nights he's had, so I'm very glad it worked out for them to go.
It was a very wet soccer classic this year, but these kids didn't mind too much. Go Cambridge!
Mia with her sweet friend, Eliana.
While I was at the beach, Ryan took the girls to a Braves' game. Always a fun treat!
I took the girls shopping after school one day, and we ended up staying out much later than expected. We were hungry and traffic was bad, so we just decided to head over to Melting Pot for a fun evening. We always love fondue!
Lily's best friend, Emory, has transferred to Whitefield Academy this year. We miss her terribly, but we're so glad she's doing well there. She joined the volleyball team, so our family went to watch her game recently. We enjoyed getting to see her play (she's really good!) and catching up for a minute afterwards. Love these sweet friends.
Cambridge house had a family night of bowling recently which was tons of fun. Most everyone bowled, and then we went to dinner afterwards with the Wilkinson and Hobson family. I'm so thankful for such a great school and friends!
Middle School Pathfinders went up to the Conasauga River for a day trip recently. This is a unique river in Georgia; there are some fish that live here and nowhere else in the world. Some parts are deep enough to go snorkeling in which some kids (not Lily though) enjoyed. There was lots of boulder climbing/jumping, wading through the water, exploring, and hiking. It was a beautiful day, and they all had a fantastic time!
Mia's class recently finished reading From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler. Their assignment was to then create a board game based on the book. Mia loved this project! She was so excited to make it and then take it in for her class to play. They rotate around playing everyone's game which is such a fun way to discuss the book. Ms. Keesee took this picture as some of Mia's friends enjoyed her game.
Lily has enjoyed some of her recent projects too. On the left was her movie poster for "Revenge" which is a sequel to Beowolf where Beowolf's mother comes back. She's directing, Avery is writing, and Pamela is "camera girl." She has Emma Watson, Dove Cameron, Lily James, and Evanna Lynch starring in it. She says it's coming out in January, 2020, so be ready! On the right is her poster for Latin. She had to invent a city and name it with Latin names and parts. It's called "Imperium Fortis" and has the cities of Swansun and Freemanus. There's also a large province known as Bloopus. Gee, I wonder where the idea for her "Brave city" came from. I'm sure Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman could help with this, and I bet the Braves would be glad to see the new mascot, Blooper, is a hit! I love how her creativity came through on these projects! We are so thankful for Stonehaven!
It's hard to believe September is behind us. It's been a great month!
