September 2019 Recap

September was another full month as we settled into our new school and work routines. Houston had some rocky weather (Tropical Storm Imelda came to town) and the boys had numerous short weeks.  Here's a peek at what our September looked like:  

We celebrated the summer birthdays with dinner at Nana and Pop's.  






 Henry went to Camp Olympia for a four-day retreat with the 6th grade class at Kinkaid. 



After returning home, he had an extra day off from school to rest and recuperate.  Gene took him to the zoo.  



Will discovered author Brandon Sanderson, thanks to a recommendation from Aunt Jess. 


We spent some time with Nana and Pop waiting out TS Imelda, on the day before it got really bad.  


Then the storm came to town and flooded the streets.  Driving was a nightmare, and then school was canceled the next day.  This is what our extra day off from school looked like:  


Henry continued with art




and created a grand bazaar in his room, full of treasures and trinkets from around the world.  

 


Henry and Gene attended Middle School night at a Kinkaid football game.  


On one of the boys' days off from school, Gene took everyone to the vet. 


It was an exhausting experience.  


My friend Leigh and her family were in town one weekend and we celebrated little Remy's third birthday. 


She is so adorable!

We also had a couple of sick days.  Henry made it to school one day and promptly threw up on the grass. Poor boy.  


Will was sick a different day.  Thank goodness Gene's schedule is flexible (when he's not traveling!).


We spent one evening with the Hickses and the boys got to try out their new VR.  They loved it! 


Even though we're busy, we're still managing to cook a lot.

We're figuring out our new normal but it's been working so far!
