September '26 Recap

The main story of September was the change in routine. Even though they're at the same school, Luca's drop-off is a full 20 minutes after Luna's, which cuts deep into our gym time.

For ~2 weeks, I tried getting up early, making breakfast, going to the gym, and getting back in time for drop-off, but I'm missing too much of the kids' morning, which proved to be a non-starter.

I just ordered a Tonal for our basement. I'm hopeful that eliminating the commute will solve all my problems.

The sub-plot of September has been crummy weather every weekend. I usually don't notice that sort of thing, but we had to rain-check a family photoshoot ~3 weeks in a row because of inclement weather. We ended up moving the shoot to indoors, and obviously, it's beautiful this weekend. 😅

OK, let's move on to business.
