September is a busy month.

Throughout the year there is an ebb and flow of  easy months and much busier months.  I’ve gotten used to March being very busy for me because of Piano contest.  And generally December is busy because of the holidays.  I need to remember how chaotic September is.

Everything starts up at the same time:  lesson go back into full swing, school starts, nanny’s start coming, BSF starts, growth groups start, back to 2 services at church, MMTA meetings start and then I have my fall contest music seminars every Tuesday morning.  Now, don’t get me wrong.  I’m not complaining.  In fact almost everything on that list I’ve chosen to be a part of, but I really wish things were a little more spread out.  By the time the weekend comes it’s been such a whirlwind that I’m ready for a break!  The good news is–once we hit October, I’m home free!  I should be back into the groove of everything starting and then my seminars will be over as well as some of my meetings.  This year I’m going to go out on a limb and try to take Josiah with me to my MMTA meeting… I’m not sure how well it will work but since it’s just him now I thought it was worth a try.  He can sit and play REALLY well sometimes so I’m hoping I can set him up with a show and headphones in the back and it will work just as perfectly as I envision it in my head.  🙂  We’ll see.  My meeting is on Friday morning… I’ll let you know how it goes.

In other news we got a new camera lens a while back and I was playing with it the other day.  It’s a much bigger zoom, so I took this picture of  Tim and Chloe playing in the far corner of the yard while I was standing on the deck.  Pretty cool, huh?

And then I took this picture of a flower that was down on the floor of the deck.  I was pretty pleased with how pretty it turned out!

In other news, Chloe had her well child check this morning.  We came to the consensus that she is healthy and normal and tall.  But, really, that’s no new information to me!    Hehe!  😉
