September! And some of October. :)

Gracie, still "deep diving"

Lainey and friend Maddyn

We "thought" Walker's Invisalign was eaten by Gracie. But it wasn't! We found it on the floor in his bedroom. So Gracie, I'm sorry for blaming you!

a sweet (and so innocent!) face

Mid-September, I took my annual trip to see my college friends. :) We met in Austin, Texas this year...it was great fun, as always!

I got to see my godparents Sue and Phil (pictured), my uncle Brian and his wife Patrice (not pictured),

and I had lunch with Brooke...

and Brooke drove me to see the home in which I grew up in Austin!

Kate, far right on the bottom row, has taught Jazzercise since we were in college together!

I have started teaching part-time at a preschool (VERY part-time).

And...sweet baby birds in our backyard. Sadly I don't think either of them made it.

Gracie, giving new meaning to the word "deep dive."

A bee stinger! Found in Gracie's hind leg.

Gracie, barking at a snake (I think this got one of the birds.)

College Visits and FSU Baseball Camp

 Walker attended a baseball camp at FSU at the end of July. We drove by the University of Florida to take a quick, self-guided tour. Sadly it was quite the rainy day...but we still got to see the campus!

We saw an armadillo! A LIVE one!

Made it to FSU in Tallahassee! This is Walker with his friend, Chase.

View from the window of our VRBO house... I loved the trees and hills in Tallahassee!
