September Fun!

I hope you’ve all been doing well!  We have been busy busy busy in the Ratliff household!  Connor is busy learning about zoo-phonics in preschool, Caroline is growing every second of every day, and Cole?  Well, Cole has his hands full with all the sweeping, mowing, and vacuuming he’s been doing! 

Here are some pictures!

On 9/17 we had a great surprise when Uncle Darryl and Dollye came to visit on their way to NC from KY.  We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Mad Greek and got caught up since we had not seen each other since March.
