I have come to look forward every year to September. This, for us, is really the beginning of a new year. It is our "reset" button. Kids are back in school. Work picks up a little. Schedules are figured out. Rach and I find ourselves with more "us" time. We begin to find a groove.
And in most cases, it is a groovy sort of groove. I like to think we have a pretty cool family.
This has been the last few weeks. For the most part, it's just us being us. There have been little highlights here and there, but what really stands out to me this time of year is just how "normal" things become. I like that.

| We've been working to get a home office set-up for Rach. Here she is testing computer equipment. Later this week we're having a detached building "installed" on our property that she will work out of, but for now this is in our bedroom. It will be nice to get our space back. |
 |
| Addy and Jack are in x-country and have meets every week. They are learning the real meaning of try-hard! |
 |
| Three kids who need to practice instruments. Ev drums in two different bands. Our home can get pretty loud sometimes. This is when I am happy to have a detached home gym. |
 |
| We still get out on plenty of hikes and impromptu swims |
 |
| Well...some of us prefer to watch the swimmers from the sidelines. |
 |
| This is from a quick trip Rachel took to Texas to see her aunt get married. I think she had a great time. |
 |
| Again, Rachel in Texas. After this trip she told me she was ready to embrace suburban lifestyle, plan charcuterie nights, get back into book club, and develop some esoteric hobbies...like beekeeping. Serious/not serious.

| Ev, just being Ev |
 |
| Jack, just being Jack. No two kids are alike. |
