Autumn Observances


It was time, fall decorating day! One of my favorite holidays! This was a new addition to the collection thanks to my girl Pink! Love the reminder in the kitchen!


I love these little guys. They joined our family from, the one and only, Hobby Lobby. The burlap French script matches perfectly with our stuff!


Also had to make my annual fall favorite- homemade cranberry, chocolate granola! Mmm


Let me know if you want the recipe.... It's wonderfully good and easy! Now that I make it every fall, the smell just makes me think of the season. 


My precious new nephew was born a couple weeks ago too! We'll definitely have to have autumn birthday parties together in the future!



Speaking of which, Mom and Scotch took us out for my b-day. Lovely dinner and movie night. We were on a wild goose chase to see Taken 2. One theater was sold out for every time, the next theater was flooded (not even a joke, caution tape around the outside and all), but finally, third times the charm! It was good, maybe not worth the good chase though. 


Little baby smith is starting to show him/her self, or maybe I just need to start working out again. Mom and I enjoyed some shopping the next day. It was a wonderful birthday!

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I feel SO blessed, and plan to enjoy these last couple years of my twenties to the fullest!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
