Fall is in the air

Houston has two seasons... Summer and SUMMER. Memphis has much more of a seasonal change, and I have come to love Fall the most. Our dear friends, the Fernandez family, had us over for dinner a couple of weekends ago. Their boys built a fire pit in their backyard, and we had smores for dessert! Since that night, JM and I have gone into major Fall mode. He got us a fire pit, and we had our first fire the night he brought it home (with some spare wood from the Fernandez fam--thank you)! I am just loving the Fall weather and see the fire pit quickly turning into a weekend tradition!

Freidan thought the firewood was for him.

Getting it started!

Football!

Well it is official, I have been sucked into the football culture here in Memphis.  Growing up, it was never really a huge deal.  If it was on, great.  If not, I certainly didn't feel like I was missing anything.  That is definitely not the case in SEC country! Even JM's younger brother's high school football games include tailgating beforehand. It is SO fun and I love witnessing the rivalries that stem from so many SEC schools being close to Memphis. Ruth likes it too... we may have a future athlete on our hands--she is always enthralled when we are watching sports :)

Go Brothers!

Go Brothers!

She wouldn't even take her eyes off the game for a picture!

Checkin' out the game with Papa...
Two peas in a pod right there!

Saturday Mornings

Saturday mornings are a sweet time for our family.  We take a break from the busyness of the week and enjoy a big breakfast, coffee, and just being outside together! I have come to cherish these times and am looking forward to when Ruth is a little older and can enjoy it more with us! She certainly seems to love it now, though!
