Just had to take some pictures of the beautiful autumn colors in our neighborhood this year. I do believe Fall may be my favorite season.
The Red Maple trees in our front yard were so ablaze with color, they seemed to set the house afire when the sun hit them just right. Wish these pictures captured the feeling...
Meanwhile, all down the street, leaves changes color of various hues, making our daily drive past them a true delight.
Another highlight each Fall is Sarah's birthday. Although she elected not to have a party with her friends this year, we had a good time going out to dinner and celebrating as a family. The Mounds birthday cake was definitely a hit! Still can't believe she's turned 18. Where has the time gone?
Meanwhile, an early cold snap caught us off guard. Emily ventured out to the upper deck and found a bit of ice that made the perfect sword! No shortage of excitement in this household!
Thanksgiving brought us a return invitation to the home of our friends, the Overholsers. So nice of them to include us each year. Good food, good company, always a fun game. This year's choice: Pictionary Man. What a hoot!
Still, it's not the same if you don't experience the aroma of turkey wafting through your own house, so on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, we had our own family mini-feast with turkey and all the trimmings.
A feast for the eyes and stomach, and leftovers for soup!

I truly enjoy cooking with my daughters; they are such a help in the kitchen. Emily, especially seems to really like getting in there and whipping up something to eat from whatever happens to be around. That will serve her well in the future...
