Carving Pumpkins

First Fire of the Season

Next up: carving pumpkins.

Home again! Fall is in full swing.

Our first morning home the girls woke at 5:30 am (since we've been on eastern time for the last month) and dug out their winter coats, hats and gloves to enjoy the fall leaves in a nippy 35 degrees. We were surprised to find jalepenos and tomatoes still growing in the garden. It's good to be home!

Tallie can't say Madeline, it always comes out Maddie-lion, so we've started calling her just that. Lion.

Southern Sunday

Romantic Boardwalk

Had the privilege to witness this romantic engagement tonight at sunset on the boardwalk! Sigh. Btw, she said yes!

GJ: Good Clean Fun

Taken this afternoon in the desert of GJ on our way to go shoot. You had to be there to really appreciate this caveman activity. Great fun.

Not so sure about this thing called food, but she actually swallowed a few bites. Go girl!

Adults Night Out

Thanks to Nana Debbie and Papa Gary, we were able to enjoy an evening out--adults only. We had a great meal and then enjoyed a nightcap with friends at the "Haughty Heron" cigar and wine bar.

FL: Family Night on the Beach

A great night of s'mores, a campfire, and running around the beach under the stars.
