Well...
two more weekends have come and gone already! If anyone has that magic clock that can stop time...I'd sure love to borrow it for just a few days!
The last few weekends have been full of projects...
...getting new carpet throughout the house meant lots of painting and rearranging, but I think we've finally got things in some sort of order...
...pre-carpet...
...how many things can we cram into the non-carpeted rooms?!
...but well worth the mess and stress of moving it all around...
...Emily and Alex moved their furniture around just a bit too...which makes everything seem new...
...the hole in the kitchen wall...{thanks to a leaky pipe}...patched and painted...as good as new!
 |
| What hole? |
...new landscaping planted...
...school projects, ice-skating, beautiful mornings, re-fueling with Starbucks and Steak 'n Shake...
 |
| Emily preparing for her Olympic project for school with a captive audience! |
 |
| sparkling for ice-skating |
 |
| Miss Independent..."no" she says when I ask if I can help carry her baby seat into ice-skating |
 |
| early-morning cruise |
 |
| s'mores shake to treat ourselves after a long day |
Our weekends were not all full of work...we enjoyed a beautiful evening hike in Brown County last Saturday to get this cooped up family outside to take in the gorgeous fall-like weather!
 |
| the apple of her daddy's eye |
 |
| Ready to hike, "Wait up!" |
 |
| Collecting just the right rocks for skipping! |
 |
| A touch of Fall |
 |
| Watching and listening to serveral hummingbirds chirp and buzz in this meadow of flowers |
 |
| Savoring a quick moment as Ellie reaches up for my hand...before she is off again on her own. |
It was a wonderful evening hiking, skipping rocks, climbing trees, enjoying all the sights and sounds of nature, and watching the sun set. We treasure our weekends together, and a small trip to Brown County is always a memorable one.
This past Saturday we were excited to cheer on the Hoosiers at Memorial Stadium! Nothing says Fall than a perfect cool night watching college football, eating popcorn, and listening to a marching band!
 |
| Ready to cheer on the Hoosiers! |
 |
| Heading to The Rock- Always remembering Coach Hep |
 |
| Popcorn & Pigtails! |
 |
| Ready for some football! |
 |
| So excited! |
 |
| Alex's airplane made from a popcorn box and pom-pom streamers! |
 |
| Watching all the bands at halftime |
 |
| Such a gorgeous night! |
I know the projects and home improving are never-ending...but the rewards of checking them off the list sure do feel good!
So in the meantime...we continue to make lots of family memories...
 |
| Exploring in the yard, finding sticks, mushrooms and interesting insects... |
 |
| looking cute after Emily got her all dressed! |
...try to catch up on as much lost sleep as possible...
 |
| sleeping off a slight fever |
 |
| sleepover with mommy after a late-night |
 |
| ...didn't quite make it to dinner... |
 |
| ...waiting for a late-night storm to pass... |
...and add just
one more thing to the list!
Happy Monday!
