I'm about half a year behind on updating this - oops. Life continues to be great but extremely busy (hence the late post). I'm trying to make up for lost time, but considering my really bad memory, I'll probably forget some stuff. Here's August/September in photos!
We went to Cedar Pointe with the kids, which is something they look forward to each year. Maggie and Jamie hit up all the big coasters, Evie is kind of in the middle and loves the simpler rides, and I usually hang with Ben in the little kids' area. A long, but fun day!

| Cedar Pointe! |
 |
Ugh, how can anyone handle spinning in circles for fun?! |
 |
| Pure joy |
 |
| Probably my last year with a kid under 48" |
 |
| Lots of lines to wait in |
We went to the Renaissance Festival and learned that it is definitely Maggie's happy place - and the other two tolerated it.
 |
| Fun times for all! |
 |
Maggie got elf ears glued on and blended with makeup - very happy girl
|
 |
| Henna tat for our tough girl |

Throwing tomatoes at the insult guy... who was very nice to Ben, and I felt kind of bad |
Lots of sports games over the summer between the Tigers and Lions!
 |
One of Maggie'e fave authors did a meet and greet before a Tigers game, and Jamie got her tickets - she was all about it! |
 |
| Pre-season game - and we lost, but still fun! |
 |
| Ready to for a foul ball |
 |
Had a fun Tigers outing with fireworks, and Justin and Grandma were there too! |
 |
| Still a cuddle-bug |
 |
| Talkin stats with Grandpa |
Time for another school year! We now have a 7th grader, 5th grader and 1st grader, and everyone settled in well this year.
 |
| Ready to take on 7th grade |
 |
| Fifth grader - top of the food chain at school! |
 |
| So ready to conquer first grade! |
The girls and I are very into Gilmore Girls, it's our special show to watch together and has somewhat of a cult following. The City of Brighton transformed their downtown into the show's town (Stars Hollow), so of course we had to go! We had such a fun time, it was awesome!
