Fall is Here

Fall has arrived! The weather has been incredible lately, so we've done a lot of outdoor activities. We went to Heritage Day where a local catholic school celebrated 150 years in Nashville with an outdoor festival, taking us back 150 years with old-fashioned games, a horse & carriage ride and of course, the authentic old-fashioned magic show! :) Here they are waiting on the show to start ...



Then the next weekend, we enjoyed the Celebration of Cultures which is Nashville's one-day festival where a local park gets turned into a mini-Epcot with exhibits, games, entertainment and food from the many cultures that are represented in Nashville.



Last weekend, we had a great time with Bryan, Ashley and Emma at the park. Noah and Emma were tough to keep up with! We got them to slow down just a bit for these shots...





We've also enjoyed playing more outside at home now that it's a little cooler. Noah is enjoying his Big Wheel and t-ball set and Elena loves the climbing slide in the backyard. She is still fearless and I can't turn my back on her when she's near it, which I of course, learned the hard way. She likes to climb up the slide and then stand precariously at the top. The other day, she somehow went down the slide all by herself like a bullet - on her belly, face first, with her hands up at her side. I got to her right as she landed at the bottom of the slide with a faceplant into our grass and she just stood up and giggled and laughed! Here she is climbing up the slide and then a few pictures from around the house...
