Where did September go?

I had big plans for this month. I was going to post more how-tos and pictures of projects and get lots of exciting things done. And I have gotten lots of things done. Finally finished my wedding album. Made birthday presents for my sister and sister-in-law (I'll post pictures after they've been given.) Gone to PTA meetings and scrapbook socials and had an open house at my own home. Already visited my niece (and my bro and SIL) once this month, and get to go again this Saturday. Yay!

On our first visit we all crammed into my mother's car:


Aren't my guys just the cutest, cuddliest boys you've ever seen? Connor didn't really want to ride in the back, and at one point climbed over the seat and sat on Ethan's lap. Such a cute dog.


At one point while we were there, all the small animals decided to gang up on my brother. And yes, I do include my sons in that description. (Ross has Brownie and Simon hugging him, and Ethan's probably regalling him with video game information. Or asking if he can turn on the XBox.)

This was the first time Simon met Josefine. He decided this was how she needed to be entertained. She thought this was very interesting. My brother worried about germs.

So that's the tip of the iceberg for September. Hopefully I'll have a decent picture of Jessica with Josefine after this weekend, not to mention Nancy. (Nothing I've taken so far has been really nice.) If either of you read this before Saturday, plan on posing!
