It is my favorite season. I just love the crisp air, food smells, piles of leaves, and energy that is all around.
We are full into football season along with "Fall Ball" baseball. Chris is in his last season with Little Falcons football. He continues to be the starting Center and is also playing some defense again this year...with 2 tackles last week!! Woop woop!! It's really hard to get good pictures of football because as fans you are so far away...but here is one close up taken by the newspaper.
Who says "ruff-n-tuff" football guys can't have a GREAT grin!!
We always host the Halloween party for the baseball team. Pizza, desserts, and football in the front yard after trick-or-treating. Fun, fun times!!
But what truly marks the beginning of the season for me is The Ya-Ya's Annual Williamsburg trip. My mom, sister, and I always go to Williamsburg VA in October to shop. This trip has been going on for over 13 years!!! WOW..I am so proud that we have been able to keep this up. It has developed into more of a girls extended weekend trip than an extreme Christmas shopping trip. We do get some Christmas gifts purchased or at least decided on. However, the main goals are to plan our family Thanksgiving and Christmas menus and just enjoy each other. And enjoy we do!!! I cannot even begin to explain all the HILARIOUS happenings that we have experienced...the possessed squirrel, the hickory nut that found it's way back then almost caused my house to burn down, the ditch that really wasn't there, the pen that was a bullet, the freezing cold dinner at the tavern, homework Melissa, taking a tazer into Dunkin Donuts, "why do we always get so many fries?", the wonderful massages!!!! Besides, they are probably not funny to anyone but us!!!! Hootie, Hooo!!! (Girls, are y'all laughing your butts off?!)

Me...it was truly FREEZING in the room!!!
Forever doing homework for MBA...Glad you're done sis!!
Before our MASSAGES...what a BLAST!!!
Well...it won't be long now!!!! I must admit I do have a little "pep in my step" each morning these days!!!
Hope y'all take time to enjoy these wonderful days of Fall!!!! I sure am!
