Remembering 9/11

9/11 is so sad every year, but this year is a little more close to home. Now that Kenny's in the fire service, it really makes you think about what these guys do every day and how dangerous their job is. Mason & Audrey are in their firefighter t-shirts in honor of all the firefighters that lost their lives and for the ones still fighting today.

As for the rest of the summer, it seemed to fly by. We passed the time by swimming at Mamaw's, which Mason has ended the summer with twists off the diving board with NO ONE catching him, then he swims to the wall! We went to Cherie and Todd's lake house for Labor Day. It was the closest thing we've had to a vacation in a while (3 days). The weather was perfect and we had a blast. Boating, fishing, tubing, and waverunning! On a more sad note, little Audrey has unfortunately inherited her moms ability to easily get urinary tract infections as a kid. She had one, I'll spare the details on how I got the urine, just say tricks I've picked up from work. She was on antibiotics for 10 days, then we scheduled a VCUG (test to see if urine backs up to the kidneys). Low and behold, we have another infection. So more antibiotics, then reschedule the VCUG. She's such a trooper. The only big thing is until the antibiotics kick in (24-48 hrs) she has high fevers and an awful time sleeping (pretty much means me and her are bunked up on the couch all night). What are moms for! Kenny's been doing great is school. Absolutely loving life! Count down till Nov. 6!!! Now for the pictures you all have been waiting on!
