Goodbye, August! Hello, September!

The last two weeks around here have pretty much been a blur. Trying to get back into the school routine started out pretty smoothly. But by Friday of the first week, we were all worn out!  The second week was also kind of crazy.  Since Hurricane Isaac was initially predicted to hit the Florida panhandle, Amanda and the kids evacuated here for a few days.  It was great to get an unexpected visit with them, but I think we ended up getting more of the storm here than they did in Pensacola!

Luckily, the rain moved out of Arkansas just in time for the first game of the year!  The weather was surprisingly tolerable as we tailgated on Saturday in the shade.  Unfortunately, the way our tickets worked out, Jeff was in the outdoor seats on the east side of the stadium with 3/4 of the kids.  They survived the heat of the first half with lots of lemonade and snow cones!
