Thanks Mom and Dad

Dear Dad (and Mom),
This was unexpected. And perfect. I cried. And smiled too. Love you!

Fall

Harper and I raked some leaves on Saturday (after a cold morning soccer game). The leaf pile wasn't big enough to jump in....

After discovering the lack of leaf jumping opportunity, we decided to draw some Halloween decorations on the sidewalk. Witches, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts ....boo!

In the afternoon, we played hung the ghost out front. [Harper named him Car].

Then we played outside some more, planted some mums, and did various other errands around the house. At the end of it all, even Jordy was tired.

At the end of the night, T and I enjoyed a fire on the patio with some tunes from Boogie Wonderland (thanks to the Our Lady Peace fall festival).

Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub

A new brewpub in the neighborhood? Of course.

We stopped in naturally.
Excellent food: smoked fish and cheese for T, salad for me.
Beer: Big Jim IPA for both of us.

Yum! We will be back.

My new favorite magazine: The Atlantic.

Check it out. I subscribed to use up airlines miles. Now I read it cover to cover. Smart.

What the Focus?

I'm taking part in the Lululemon What the Focus 30-day challenge.

It totally fits with the mission of this blog. Take pictures. Document life.

The challenge provides a "theme" for every day. Take a picture and post to Instagram with the hashtag #wtfsept. I admit I don't get one up every day, but it is fun when something presents itself in the theme for the day.

just like me.

Jordy takes pictures JUST LIKE ME!!!! blink.

Trouble is brewing....

T bottled his first home brewed beer this week. How proud does he look?
