A September to Remember

This September was truly a memorable one. Fall in Connecticut can't be beat, and this month was the perfect beginning to a beautiful season back here.

One thing we got to do is watch our friend's darling baby, Bo. They went to a concert in the city and Thad got to have a little taste of what it will be like to have a little brother.
Thad wanted in on the action at all times and of course had to help Bo play with his toys. 
I can't wait to see this boy with his little bro!

There was also lots of time spent at the beach before it got to cold to go down there. It is always so refreshing to be down by the water so we didn't want to waste any of the perfect weather.







We also finished a MAJOR project this month: repainting our table and chairs.
BEFORE
AFTER

We LOVE how the finished product turned out, but it was a rough road getting there. We started clear back in June before we went to Utah and it was dragged out until September. We (I mean Brian) had to strip down the top 2 times before getting it the way we wanted, but in the end it was all worth it. We did learn through this experience that we are not the big project kind of people, but ya live and ya learn, I guess. :) 
We also spray painted the chandelier silver instead of the bright brass it was and it definitely completed the space and its look.

This month I was also able to attend my first Broadway show, and what a memory that will always be!

Angie and Vess took a trip to NYC and we of course had to meet up with them!
This was the perfect show to see for the first time and it definitely got me hooked on Broadway.

 I took all these pictures before I was told you can't take pictures in the theater. 
Classic rookie mistake.
We got a SMOKING deal on our tickets because we purchased "partial view" tickets the day of the show.
We were on the balcony that you can see in this picture (just on the opposite side obviously) and a small corner of the stage was hidden from our view. Totally worth $30/ticket.
Daniel Radcliffe was amazing and the night was just totally perfect with 2 good friends we hadn't seen in a while. The city truly is an amazing place!

Of course this boy makes any month a memorable one.
Our little Indiana Jones

And in between there was lots of this from all the fun we were having.
