I Heart Fall

This weekend was pretty much the perfect weather for a weekend. Sunny, cool, and the sky looked like the opening scene of the Simpsons.

I love fall, but I still don't get why you're not supposed to capitalize the seasons. With words like fall and spring, they could easily be mistaken for their verb cousins without a capital letter starting them off right. Even "winter" can be a verb. Oh well, I suppose there are bigger fish...

Anyway, first things first. I was going through the camera's memory card, which is finally full, and making sure I had copies of all the pictures before I deleted everything. I came across a few pictures that Ali had taken for Patrick's birthday a few months back of the kids dressed in their Majestic chef's whites. Majestic is capitalized, of course, because it's the famous restaurant recently voted best restaurant in Memphis, TN (full disclosure: at least 23 votes were cast from this household). So, happy belated birthday, Patrick! How's that ukulele?


We started the weekend off with a trip out to Burke nursery with Stacey and Mike and baby Lily. Here we are showing Sadie how smiling works:


And here are Sadie and Lily about to walk through the Great Pumpkin Tunnel:
This picture cracks me up. Yes, Stacey is taller than Ali in real life, but for some reason, Ali looks like she's four feet tall here:
Does Jake have a future career as a professional model? You be the judge (but there's only one correct answer, judges).

Those are some great smiles...even Sadie's hidden one!
Yes, Jake would be a great model, or a comedian. He does like making people laugh. I think he gets it from his mother.
Perhaps Ali can star in "The Incredible Shrinking Mom!"
Great pics and funny commentary, Ry!

Love,
Poppy & Gram

Ok, I have finally calmed down enough to leave a comment- because, ya'll can I tell you? I laughed so flippin hard at the picture of stacey and ali that it went to silent laugh.. and then transitioned to old man smoker wheeze laugh.. and tears came out of my eyes... and then I looked at it again and started the cycle all over a second time..

I dont know which is funnier ali being so small, or stacey being so giant..

either way- cow says: good one, cow.

love,
cara
