Fall Fun

I love fall! There is something so fun about cooler weather, pumpkins, homemade pies, and the anticipation of the holiday season. Every fall I have a check list in my head of the things I would like to do and somehow I never do them. Well this season is different! I determined to cook, do, and see everything.

First on the list was to paint pumpkins. I know most people carve pumpkins, but I hate how they dont last (especially in Houston) and start to stink. Our hometeam (Bible study group from church) has an annual pumpkin carving party. This year we had in out at the Gertson's house in Lissie, TX. If you dont know where Lissie is, well neither do I. All I know is we drive for a long time and then arrive at this perfect house out in the middle of all these rice fields (are they even called fields?) hmmm. I love going to the Gertson's house because it is so peaceful. Time slows down and you really get to enjoy life. I love being away from the hustle and bustle of the city (or suburbs in our case). Being out there makes me want to move to some land and just SLOW DOWN. Anyways, it was so much fun. Our hometeam has been such a blessing to us. I love these ladies and appreciate their friendship and fellowship.

 I love this picture - Jacob is at the precious newborn stage where he will sleep anywhere at anytime. Knox and Lilly are enjoying Emily dancing for them.
