Fall Is Here!

Fall has arrived in Ohio! It took a little while to get here. A little over a week ago we were sweating out on the lake in 90 degree temps. Since then the weather has cooled off. The mornings are chilly and then it warms to around 70. It's perfect. We are all loving it. The girls even picked out some fleece lined crocs yesterday to keep their toes cozy! The leaves have started turning and Jon and Taylor have done a considerable amount of raking. With this beautiful autumn weather came a visit from our dear friends, the Tomlinsons. They came for five days. We enjoyed a day on the lake, a bon fire, shopping, dinner out and a trip to one of the strangest pumpkin patches I've ever been to.... Heather is an incredibly talented interior designer and she gave me some WONDERFUL ideas and inspiration to decorate my house. Being the dolly she is she gave us all haircuts before she left and Jon was Guy's assistant while they cut down a dead tree in our yard that has been the neighborhood eyesore for months. Thank you Tomlinsons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a wonderful time with our friends and now we miss them so much now that they have gone back to California.

Heather and I! A bon fire in the backyard complete with smores and wine. YUMMM!!!


The girls all took turns being statues in our little niche that I have no idea what to do with.... When mom was here she said I could make it a little prayer alter, so......Here you go mom! :)


ALL the girls on the water!



Jordan captured some beautiful fall colors out on the water. It really was beautiful!
