September Fun

September is a great month to be in Connecticut, the leaves are starting to change and we feel a crisp air, but there are still plenty of warm sunny days to enjoy!

Each Saturday morning began with Jackson's soccer game.

Cheesey Smile for Picture Day

His First Soccer Team

We were excited for Grandma to come visit for a few days! She was excited to meet Kaylee but Jackson and Abbie love her so much that they wouldn't give her much time with her because they wanted to play with her the whole time :) They had fun making shakes and even went on an overnighter trip to NYC! Tyler had a few meetings in the city and so they tagged along and explored while Kaylee and I stayed home.

Kaylee turned one month! 9 pounds 10 ounces

One Saturday we went on a big adventure in Western Connecticut, we started apple picking stopped at some waterfalls and ended up in Kent, a charming town with yummy sandwiches and an ice cream shop.

Jackson and Tyler went on their first father-son campout.

We went Pumpkin picking in Avon.

The month ended with my 29th birthday! I was spoiled with lots or presents and treats.

After dropping the big kids at school, Kaylee and I met Tyler for Brunch

Abbie and I have matching flyaway bands!

First Days of School

Abbie started joy school this year! She along with Alice, Arianna & Mariah took turns hosting joy school on Tuesdays and Thursdays while Jackson was in preschool. The other moms (Jeanette, Christina and Emily) are so great and did such amazing crafts and activities with the girls. While they are just 2 years old, they all have fun doing crafts and learning their letters!

So excited for her first day!

Big brother with a send-of hug, he didn't start until the following week.

Jackson started his second year at Pine Grove Nursery School, this year in the 4s class. His teachers are Mrs. Grinrod & Mrs. Peletier. Last year there were 7 girls and 3 boys in his class, and this year he's got the opposite - 7 boys and 3 girls which of  course Jackson was thrilled with. He had three of the same friends from last year, Audrey, Nate & Levi. It will be a longer day, starting at 9:00 and ending at 1:45 pm, he even gets to eat lunch at school. Of course picking out a new back pack and lunch box was his favorite part of back to school shopping. He chose a Firefighter Dusty Backpack and an Avengers Lunchbox.

He also got to start soccer the following week and was on a real soccer team. We were honestly a little underwhelmed by the whole Avon Soccer Club. There were no practices and the teams just met on Saturdays at 9 am for 20 mins of drills and then a 30 minute scrimmage. But Jackson had a real uniform so that's all he really cared about!
