September.

We've been back in school for almost a month now, so life has been a little chaotic lately. For me, it's a love-hate relationship with this overwhelming transition... one day I'm lounging on the patio furniture enjoying nature and my coffee... the next I am packing lunches, prepping supper and planning my day all in the space of the hour I have before we head out the door. Twice, now, without my coffee. Aargh. Enjoying absolutely nothing about that.

September also happens to be spider season here. And one morning they reminded me I wasn't the only one being busy these days.

I honestly haven't even LOOKED at my blog since the last post. Since then, we've made two day trips to Arlington for a christian conference, spent a whole day doing wash from camp and then plunged right back into the routine that is real life and learning.

The summer weather is sticking around and the local Calgary News has been reminding us to be grateful for it. Our fellow Canadians there are battling power outages and snowfall. On September 10, if you can believe it. Cray. Zee. 

Our evenings are spent outside on the deck, savouring ice cream cones, and these two cuties...
