Fallishness

Well, I'm finally blogging on after oh, 3 months. We watch Wheel of Fortune pretty much every night. We think Holly really likes seeing if they win the car or the trip at the end because she can't quite get the puzzles yet. At the end of the show, they often promote things by saying, "So, log on to our website and you could win...blah, blah, blah." Well, one day Holly jumped up and cried, "Come on! We need to blog on right now!!" So, now we "blog on" around here.

We are loving the fall weather and I really have no idea where the month of October went. Allen has about 6 weeks left of residency, praise the LORD, Hallelujah!! The last two months are pretty long hours but it helps so much to know the end is in sight!! And we are so thankful to have a beautiful house to move into, thanks to my parents, who have hung on to their rental house in Nashville so we could move into it when we move back. It's about 20 minutes from downtown but it feels like you are out in the countryside...lots of open fields and horses and such.

Of course, I am going to miss my Atlanta friends hugely. I'm trying not to think about it too much, just hoping they are up for some road trips to Nashville. :) Here are some pictures of Halloween with these fun friends:

 Have you ever seen cuter kids?
 Beautiful Brea with her little pea
 I love this shot because it looks like they are praying!
 June on full speed
June and True
 You can do it, little moo moo!
 Looking fly for the camera
 So happy with all the treats
Our pumpkin, carved by Daddy. The girls "helped" by watching, but of course they didn't want to get their hands all yucky. :)
We also did a "Trunk or Treat" the night before Halloween just for fun in our old neighborhood of Brookhaven:




Okay, I need to go let my kids back inside. I told them if they stayed outside and played for 15 minutes they could have a piece of candy. It's amazing what feats candy will inspire!

Aaaack! I can't believe I was the first picture in your Halloween post! I think I should have had to sign a waver first.

I've been really trying to stick my head in the sand ... you bringing up "boxes" and "packing" and "Nashville" is making it harder.

And yes, candy is awesome. My favorite use was getting Andrew to clean up a bug by offering him a lolly pop. But then today I had to tell Elsbeth that she couldn't have any candy and she burst my eardrums with a 30-minute-scream-a-thon. Double-edged sword.

Love the pics and your update. We can't wait to have you back in Tennessee...I know you will miss your friends in Atlanta, though. Can you believe it's almost time to move here??? We are SO excited!!

Your girls are such classic beauties. I laughed at everyone at everyone praying at the candy shrine...
