playing catch up

Um, where did September go?

So, the final outcome to our interrupted Championship game? Yeah. We're some winners. Again. And yours truly made a fine showing. Fall season, under way . . .

Work has been super crazy. That's all for now on that particular topic.

Had our happy, happy housewarming. It made it all seem more real, somehow. And it reminded me that I truly love having people in our home. So, locals come on out! And not so locals, come on out in a planned ahead/organized kind of way:) The guest room is officially open and ready for business!

Niece Ripley turned 2! Way to go little, bitty one! And she's rocking out her mid-toddler years with the most disgustingly cute pink and white checkered Vans thanks to her Aunt A and Uncle C:)

Made our way to SoCal for a wedding and did a few little side trips along the way. Beautiful weather and a beautiful bride. Not to mention, hot mineral springs and massages. Clayton and Casablanca. It was a great trip;)

Autumn (the season not the friend!) arrives in Dallas! The city weeps in gratitude!

And, here we are. The most wonderful month of the year.

1. pumpkins. lot's of pumpkins.
