September

 We've slipped into September beautifully.  I've started working part time with the public school orchestras again to help them cover a bell schedule change.  It's a perfect fit, spending time with people and a program I love while supporting the teachers and students on their journey to make music.

To celebrate the launch of Nasa's Artemis, we splurged on some Krispy Kreme Artemis donuts.  Since the launch was scrubbed, I'm curious if the limited-edition donuts will return for the next attempt.

I love it when people feel comfortable enough to call and ask, "Could we drop by for a few minutes?"  My cousin's family popped in and gave us a beautiful opportunity to pop some apple crumble into the oven and get some baby snuggles.

As our kids continue to blossom, we see them less often.  So it was with great delight that we answered a rousing YES when Sarah asked if she could stop for a quick lunch on her way to participate in a wedding in Missouri.

And Katherine faithfully chugs along with school.  Sometimes it's lonely as the last Choate kid at home, but we call ourselves "Cello Trio" now!
