Week 40: Welcoming fall

It turns out that September 2015 was my least photographed month since my first trimester of pregnancy with Charlotte. We ended up with less than 300 keepers, whereas there's usually 500-800 a month, or 1-2k if we've traveled. That totally matches up with reality; we were low on energy and high on stress and to-do's. I *think* things have settled down some...we'll see how this week goes.
My favorite tree is changing from green to red. So pretty.

Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed her first ride in a "car cart." That and being in charge of the list.

I took Zach with me to Target Friday evening. As he put it, "Craft supplies, a book, board games, AND little chocolate donuts...this is the best day ever!" He spent his saved up allowance on the book and the second Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. We like the Monopoly Junior. It is super simple but you still get the enjoyment of charging people rent.

We've had to get creative on nights when I'm at Zumba or yoga and Frank has to put Charlotte in her crib. She's getting heavier, he's trying to go easy on his back, and we're not quite ready to let her be free in her room yet. She thinks it's great that she gets to climb in on her own now (with someone spotting her, of course, and moving the stuff so she can't try to climb out!)

The best part of last week was Gabe having a couple of great days at school. He's proud of his smileys and stickers! Something seems to have clicked and he understands how he's supposed to act...we are still working with him and keeping our fingers crossed that it continues.
