Fall is here!

We have been very busy around here!  We had a fantastic play date with our new friend SM. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the girls.  They were very cute together and the egg roll was so excited about having a visitor over. We are still working on sharing however, but hopefully it will come in time.
We decorated our pumpkin in special egg roll fashion.  We got all of our Thanksgiving decorations out in anticipation of our guests arriving and the egg roll's birthday.  Her biggest request this year is 'candy'.  Maybe Halloween will cure some of that longing.
We watched to Vol's first basketball game of the middle school season.  The egg roll is his biggest fan!

Shut Eye

I guess that the egg roll needed a nap badly.  This is how I found her in the living room.

Wordless Monday...

A day at the park.......

The egg roll and I had the pleasure of meeting our new friends at the park this week.  The egg roll and her new friend SM are the same age.  They frolicked in the park together like long lost pals.  SM's mommy and I had lots to talk about as well.  We are so glad that they have moved into our neck of the woods.   You see, these girls from China have a special bond and share a special sisterhood.  The ducks enjoyed a splendid meal as well.  After 4 loaves of bread, they were quite full.

Birthday Present

My best 'model' helped me try out my new lens!  Finally, I can take portrait close ups with a blurred backround!  Yippee!  No for some major practicing.

Outdoor time
