September, 2014 - in moments

 Corinne started a ballet/tap combo class
 
 Corinne & I got to go on a mama/daughter lunch with some friends to meet and welcome my dear friend, Crystal's baby daughter, Quinn
 
To celebrate her birthday, Hayley opted to have a home-cooked meal of chicken & dumplings with dessert of s'mores over a fire. It was a fun evening & we got lucky with some cooler weather. 
 
I found a caterpillar in the flower bed at mom's house so I called the girls over to see. After a bit of research, I determined we had a monarch caterpillar. Then the girls spotted several other caterpillars. We decided to foster the caterpillars and thoroughly enjoyed getting to watch them transform from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly! 
 
 Corinne is all decked out in her Buckeye gear as we started the trek from West Campus in to St. John's to take in Skull Session
 
 Corinne enjoyed her first OSU game with me, Uncle Scott & GG
 
 It's hard to tell what is actually happening in this picture, but Marielle's expression is priceless.  She is holding one of the monarch butterflies.
 
 Such a little scientist
 
 Marielle is also enrolled at the studio where Corinne is taking a class. Marielle's class is much more laid back, I believe the title is Creative Movement.  Just about all of the 3-year-old cuteness I can stand.
 
Aunt Linds & Uncle Jam were in town for a few days, we were all able to have dinner one night to celebrate Uncle Jam's birthday
