Fall is coming!

Some of you will disagree with my post title and say fall is already here. Well, this girl lives in hot, humid North Carolina, where the temps are still pushing 85. I may not be able to sit outdoors and comfortably wear sweaters and sip my pumpkin spice lattes just yet, but I am anxiously awaiting the days. Fall has always been my favorite holiday, which surprises some people because I'm a teacher.

Summer passed a lot faster than it usually does. I had a good summer chock full of house projects and organizing. My kiddo and I spent a lot of time together and we had a great time. I truly treasure my summers at home with my little girl. We just wrapped up our first week of school. I am excited about teaching this great group of eighth graders this year. We will have a busy school year, but I think we will have a good year.

Speaking of school, my daughter is anxious to start school. She is three, so this is still about 2 years away. I did take a picture of her on MY first day of school. We also got her a backpack and some school supplies that her nursery school class can use. I plan on taking another picture on the last day of school for comparison. Isn't she cute?

September will be a busy month for our family. We have fall revival, a baby shower, a wedding shower, and three birthdays to celebrate this month. I am very excited and look forward to celebrating each of these occasions. 

Also, we are awaiting some news on my sweet Daddy. We feel like the news will be good, but if you all could please continue praying for him, we'd really appreciate it. Until next time, hope you and yours have a magnificent weekend. 

Blessings, 

The Boone Family 

A trip to the grandparents' house

Last week, my husband actually had a few days off from work. I say "actually," because he doesn't often have them. Since it had been several months since we'd gone to my grandparents' house in WV, we decided this would be the perfect chance to get away. We loaded up the van and headed north.

We were only able to stay two nights, but we spent a lot of time with our family, enjoyed the cooler temperatures, went shopping and enjoyed my grandmother's cooking. We also took Emorie to ride on the Ridge Runner, a train that I rode as a little girl.



Emorie liked the train until the whistle blew, or until we went through the tunnel.

We then let our kiddo play on the playground until it started to rain. We had a great visit, and I wish we could do it more often.
