Last week in September

This week flew. Kevin went to the doctor and found out that he dislocated his thumb. He's in a brace for 2-4 weeks. I worked Tuesday and then headed out to Savannah on Thursday for a girl's trip. Kevin did the mom AND dad thing. He got the kids up and ready for school, ran the carpool, monitored homework, etc... I instructed him to pick up a snack for Emily after picking Michael up on Thursday. Emily told me tonight that "Daddy picked an interesting snack". Apparently, they got Poptarts and chocolate milk. My snacks are going to look really lame now! Ha! Friday he only had to get Emily and her friend from school.

Saturday, Michael played football and scored his first touchdown! Unfortunately, there are no pictures. Emily's team played and lost the first 2 games and won the 3rd when Kevin took over coaching. Emily also took a direct hit to the face with the ball that knocked her flat. She got up and kept on playing. There are also no pictures of that!

I do have pictures of my trip to Savannah. We had a great time! There are so many beautiful things to see. Some of the smells were rather interesting. I definitely want to go back. We also went to the beach for a day, which didn't hurt. It is definitely a place I would recommend visiting! I can't wait for our next trip!

September

September has been a busy month. School is in full swing for Emily and Michael. My preschool is back in session. Emily and Michael are playing sports - volleyball and football. Michael is still taking guitar, but Emily has put her voice lessons on pause for now. We're having a hard time finding a time to do them. She is singing in the chorus after school. All in all things are going well for everyone.

Kevin and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at the end of August. Terry and Sandy came for a visit at the beginning of the month and I celebrated another birthday. Whew!

This past week, Kevin had a car accident - and it wasn't his fault! His car is pretty banged up in the back end. I'm thinking he's broken his thumb or at least really messed it up. He did manage to play on a golf outing for 2 days. He's still waiting to hear from the other driver's insurance company. Michael had a spill down the driveway the same day, further proving that he's a Gabhart. He shredded his knee and got on the bus anyway. The driver promptly put him off the bus, since he was bleeding! He is mended now.

Nashville has been pretty much without gas this week. On Friday 85% of our gas stations had no gas. I sat at Kroger's Friday morning for about 20 minutes since I was running on fumes. Others had to wait up to 1 1/2 hours that night. They are slowly opening up stations, but there are still a lot of station without gas. It's crazy!

Today we went to a Titans game after church. They won! I'm heading out of town on Thursday for a girl's weekend in Savannah. I am VERY excited about that.

I think that pretty much catches everyone up on what's going on in our lives down here in the South.
