September Rewind

The month of September has always been a crazy month in the Fordice family. With both Abby and my birthday in September, as well as my Dad's and older brother's; in the blink of an eye September has come and gone, in the wake of a tidal wave of birthday cake and wrapping paper.


With the cousins at Grandpa Wayne's birthday party. Ellie, Cami, Carter, Abby, Ruby, Hailey, Maisie and Emma.

Singing happy birthday to Abby. The theme of her party was Barbie Mermaidia. Megan did a great job with the cake!

Emma enjoying some cake!

Ruby continues to be a mellow little girl. It's amazing how quickly she's growing! You'd think with our third daughter we'd remember how fast they learn and grow, but it's honestly like we're experiencing it for the first time. She's such a joy.

Smiles are not a rare occurance with Ruby. She's our constant smiler!

At the end of the month, Megan and Ruby went to the woman's retreat in Salem. While they were away Daddy got a nice taste of life as a stay-at-home dad. I'm happy to say I was up for the task and that I did well, but man alive do I appreciate Megan and her ability to stay home with the girls each and every day without losing her mind! We had a very fun weekend that included playing at the playground, cotton candy ice cream, trips to the zoo, library and carousel and church (yes, I got them ready, hair done and everything! :)

Abby and Emma ready for the zoo!

You are right, I can't believe how fast Ruby is growing!! Amazing!

Very impressive on having the girls dressed (in matching clothes) and their hair done!!
