Sophomore Homecoming is the first opportunity William has had for a school dance.   He and his date, Addie, went with his volleyball buddy, Will, and his date, Lilly.   They did the "promposal" signs the weekend prior (which I didn't get a good photo of since Addie's neighborhood is as dark as ours) and group photos by the Riverwalk before dinner.  Sounded like it was a nice night but no one was dating so mostly ended up being boys and girls.  William looked sharp in his new suit!  Hopefully it still fits for Confirmation in the spring!

My date and I went out for sushi and enjoyed watching families from other schools gets their photos.  We also had a chance to walk through the Riverwalk Art Festival and found the perfect piece of artwork to complete our bathroom renovation.  

September

During September, we had Rosie for several weeks while her parents were on a safari!   The girls settle into their routines when they are together, and we keep a set of Rosie's favorite balls and toys and a second leash here for here so she doesn't have to bring anything special when she comes.   The girls eat the same food, etc, so the only challenge is who gets my undivided attention!   We even have two dog beds, so I moved both into my office and tucked them both in for naps.  Lucy sleeps about 85% of the work day.  Rosie will sleep for about 8.5 seconds.   But I did get a photo!

Both girls walking William to the morning bus.  One reason we keep a leash for Rosie at our house is to make sure she has a light for the dark walks in our neighborhood.  The spotlights both girls are throwing off are on the ground beneath them.

My dad was in town for a few days on a bus trip that was combining local sites with baseball games, so I joined them on theirs Willis Tower tour.  I don't think I've been inside for 15 years, so it was good to see it again!   I enjoyed seeing my office from above as well as all the interior renovations and enjoying a coffee with my dad before the bus head off to their next stop!  It was an excellent excuse to sneak out of work early that afternoon!

And here's a shot where the girls switched beds.   My camera roll as 2,000 photos on it.   1,850 are dog pictures?!
