Here’s a September recap!

September Ends
This month has flown by! The leaves on the tree in our yard are just beginning to turn yellow, and Skelly has made his (her?) appearance in our neighborhood! Our neighbor has an amazing collection of Halloween decor, and Birch has been talking about it for weeks. When we finally walked down, he was quite scared! Wouldn’t turn his back for a pic so we took this one : )
September Begins!
But let’s zoom back to early September because somebody turned 12!!!! He requested a sleepover with two of his friends, and we had ice cream sundaes to celebrate.
I asked him to make a list of things he wanted for his bday this year, and 90% of it was fishing gear!
For his sleepover, we took the boys to Riverside for burgers + fries, and then they made a huge fort in the basement and watched a movie.
Rumor has it they stayed up till 3am!
UVA Soccer
Mid month we went to a UVA men’s soccer game. Thomas’s dad and Nash met us there.
Raise your hand if you play soccer!
Thomas is taking this season off of co-rec to focus on playing golf and watching football. I miss having him on the field!
Virginia Spirits Dinner
Thomas and I were invited to a special dinner in honor of Virginia Spirits Month! We went to Broadcloth at the Wool Factory and enjoyed a 4-course treat.
Chef Tucker Yoder knocked it out of the park again with some super creative dishes. There was a cocoa cookie crumble under the salad that was Oreo adjacent and an amazing combination with fresh veggies (sounds weird, but I loved it!).
Lemongrass + Salted Coconut Water + Vitae Spirts Platinum Rum!
The dessert course was incredible!
That paw paw ice cream was perfection with the combination of finely diced nectarine and a crumble underneath.
(Don’t worry, I didn’t finish all of my drinks or I wouldn’t have been able to walk out!)
Out on the Town
Meg and I had a girls night out. First stop Bang, second stop Bebedero!
I am obsessed with this Chai Old Fashioned at Bang. And the coconut rice!
These menus!!
Trivia Night with this crew!
Our team did pretty well. I think we got 7th place out of almost 30.

Beautiful fall walk on the greenway. This is the best time of year for walking!
