Ready for a nap

Sunday dinners at Grandpa Thomas & Grandma Barbara's house--life couldn't get any better. Imagine Thanksgiving dinner, but not on Thanksgiving. The whole family comes out, all 15 of us, for food and fellowship. It's fabulous!

Grandma Barbara and Great Aunt Sue prepared their famous Mexican dinner and even enchiladas for Boody (Jesse's younger brother), which is a separate dish of enchiladas with no olives and no onions. Great Aunt Sue made homemade pineapple upside down cake. If you've never liked upside down pineapple cake, trust me when I say, you'll LOVE Great Aunt Sue's!

After everyone has had their seconds, the guys gathered in the t.v. room and watched football and the gals got together to clean the dishes and prepare the coffee and dessert.

Sunday dinners reminds us how important it is for us to spend time with our family. It's times like today that confirms that our move to Centralia was the right move.

With a full tummy, I'm ready for snuggle time on the couch with Jesse...and NLCS baseball:)

Life is good. God is great.

Welcome Autumn

Autumn...my favorite season of all! I love the clear blue skies, but still having to be bundled up because the of the cold.

We know autumn has arrived when:

• Jesse wakes up at 4 a.m. on the weekends to go hunting
• On Friday nights you can hear the band playing at the high school football game
• Jesse is watching football games all weekend long (Texas just beat Oklahoma)
• I accessorize with scarves and mittens
• Uggs become the footwear choice for all outfits
• Our home smells of pumpkin spice candles and Thanksgiving dinner

Enjoy the season, enjoy your family and friends, and enjoy your weekend!
