Back at it…

 At work today so that later this week I can travel with Ryder for soccer…

Friday night lights…

 I went to my first highschool football game of the year. I love my date too…

It’s sweet to watch your school under the lights…

Fall craft time…

 While we were on our fall day, Eden wanted to make a decoration for her room. She decided on this wooden ghost.

She painted it and now she has a little vignette on her vanity:

I also had some fun doing some freehand embroidery. I really enjoyed it!

Thursdays

 Here we go!

September books

 Here are the books I read this month:

Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers tells the story of  Vera Wong, a lonely, sharp-tongued 60-year-old widow who runs a struggling tea shop in San Francisco’s Chinatown. One morning, she discovers a dead man on the floor of her shop and becomes convinced the police have missed something. Determined to solve the murder herself, Vera begins investigating her customers and the people connected to the victim. Along the way, her suspects unexpectedly become her friends—and Vera discovers that solving a murder may be less important than finding a new sense of family and purpose. I loved it and highly recommend it! 

What Kind of Paradise by Janelle Brown follows a young woman who becomes entangled in the mysterious world surrounding her mother’s sudden death. As she investigates her mother’s past, she uncovers secrets about wealth, family, technology, and a secluded community that promises an ideal life—but may be hiding something much darker. So many twists and surprises. It’s a psychological mystery/thriller about family secrets, grief, and the dangers of chasing a supposedly perfect life.

He’s back…

My Kit Rae came back early! In all honesty, It rained due several days straight. It would have been miserable had he stayed. But, they had a really wonderful time before the weather took over… I got some pictures and it just makes my heart so happy that they hurt this every year.

I love that he and Andrew had this time together!

Their first conference!

This last weekend, Ryder had his first MUN (Model United Nations) conference. He is the Secretary General of Operations and as a junior, it’s such an incredible opportunity to lead and he’s doing so well! I asked for a photo and hit his dad’s genes in response:

Thanks bubba!😂
