Joe & Bev (AKA: Papa Joe & Nana) visited us in Arizona for a Labor Day camping trip. We took them to Whitehorse Lake and had a fun time kayaking, making smores, and sleeping in tents. Back in the city, we all went to see Wicked at the Gamage Theatre.
Matt and I accepted a leadership position with our church, SBC (Scottsdale Bible Church), with the children's ministry. We'll be running the Missions & Me program - geared toward providing opportunities for families to serve together in our community and abroad. Our first introduction was this month.
Now that it's fall, horse lessons and flag football have started up again. The kids are happy to get back into these activities.
We played our first game of Monopoly this month - with each person playing their positions independently. We played for several nights keeping the game going at the kitchen table. For a game lover like me - this was so fun!!
Jodie had another college friend, Hilary, come into town with her family. Jodie and the kids met them for a few hours at the Desert Ridge Marriott for some swimming and chatting. This was the third college friend Jodie got to see this year. Wow.
