September in Images — The Storey Fam

Our precious friends from our time in Portugal live in Kansas City (have since leaving the island in 2014) and we didn't waste any time getting together shortly after we moved to NE. The backyard is such a source of joy for us - four boys need room to run and climb and BOY to they ever have that space here! We started school with the boys this month and did our best to stay the course though the zoo, friends visiting and time in our backyard and working on things around our new home pulled much of our attention away.

It was so insanely hot that day! But we picked 150 pounds of apples off the ground, none the less!

apple processing!

at 50 cents a pound we couldn't pass up the chance to pick apples off the ground at our local orchard. Most of the apples were still in good enough condition to eat, but most went to the 18 apple pie fillings, gallons of apple sauce and apple butter that take up much room in our freezer. The mix of apples we picked give these treats an extra delightful flavor!
