Trick or Treat!

We had a great Halloween night of trick-or-treating with Spiderman and our little turtle. We went around the neighborhood with a few of our neighbors and their children. So fun!



This is Miller's way of telling us he is ready to go home...

Samford Homecoming

Yesterday we traveled to Birmingham to celebrate SU Homecoming. We cheered on my friend Amy as she rode in the parade to commemorate the 10th anniversary of her crowning as queen. It was so fun to get our children together and relive our glory days. We even PAID to eat in the caf and visited the bookstore. An older man asked Travis if he was playing in the game, assuming he was a current football player. It was a nice boost for his ego:)

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch, appropriately named Tate Farms, to find the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. The boys got to pet the animals, jump in the corn crib, and go down the big slide. The highlight was riding in the tractor-pulled trailer into the fields to pick a pumpkin right off the vine. The weather was cool so it really felt like fall. We had a great time!

Laughter in the Lou

This past weekend I had my annual reunion with my high school friends (although we have actually known each other longer than that). We went to St. Louis and had beautiful weather and spent our time either outside or shopping. There is nothing better than laughing with old friends that love you in spite of yourself:)
