Fall

Today is the first "official" day of Fall. The weather is predicted to be in the mid 80's all week - not too Fall like, but great day to work in the yard. Speaking of working in the yard, we spent the entire weekend changing our landscape in our front flowerbeds. We added a Weeping Snow Fountain Cherry Tree, transplanted several trees to other areas, and planted some pencil evergreens. We also pulled out all of our potato vine (I got tired of cutting it back). I love working in the yard and watching our yard change...but what I really love is that my husband enjoys it as well. He has really gotten into the landscaping this year and it is a lot of fun. We now have 12 trees in our backyard and I'm sure we will regret it years down the road. But for now, it is really pretty. Last night my husband decided he was going to "wine & dine" me since we spent the entire weekend working. He grilled Tilapia, and set up a table on our deck - white table cloth, flower, candle and all! We sat outside and ate our dinner while watching the Cowboys play the Packers on the patio tv. Doesn't get much better than that! Oh, did I mention, he put a fire in the fire pit so once dinner was over (and he washed dishes), we sat by the fire. Sometimes life seems surreal, I almost feel guilty for being so happy. I can't imagine my life with anyone else.

Tonight it's Brett's turn...we're headed to play golf after work and then I get to cook dinner.

Side note...we took pictures of our two babies (Pudge & Kiara). Thought everyone might like to see some of the other family members (minus the frogs & fish :))
