It is hard to believe that it is September already. It has been a busy August. Bridger and I had nearly two straight weeks of travel. First we went to Ann Arbor for work for me. Bridger got to go back to his old daycare and had a blast. We also got to see not so old friends from Michigan including Bridger's BFFs Ezra and Claudia. After one day at home we were on our way to California for a visit with family. Matt and I did manage to sneak in one day away in Napa for some wine tasting and a long overdue date. Thanks Jody, Trevor, Amy, and Erik for taking such great care of Bridger while we were gone. Bridger loved being a teenager for a day. We had some quality time with the Great-Grandparents and Bridger loved all the attention and all of the new toys (and treats!) The week went by in a flash. When we came back there was no rest for the weary. Bridger started his new school on August 23rd. He goes to a local Montessori school. We are so thankful that things seem to be going well. He isn't sleeping as long as he should there yet so that has made the evenings a little challenging and when he doesn't sleep enough he gets up early. NOBODY was excited about our 5:15am wake up call this morning. It is fun to see Bridger take on a new challenge. It is hard to believe but he puts away his toy and rolls up his mat (well attempts the roll) when we arrive in the evening. Somehow when Matt and I say you need to pick up your toy before you go on to the next thing Bridger says "no" but when his sweet teachers say it he does it so nicely. Hmm... Last weekend we celebrated my birthday with my parents in town. Matt made a delicious ice cream cake that was quite a treat. Bridger's birthday present for me was starting to call me Mommy. On Thursday the 26th he said Mommy for the first time and has been using it ever since. I kind of liked being Mama, but I guess he is growing up and big boys say Mommy. Sniff...We are excited for a long weekend, before Matt starts on service next week. Hope you have fun Labor day plans that don't include Earl!

A little reading time with MorMor. New books are always a treat.
A very special treat, riding on a boat at Lake Chabot.
