Enjoying Autumn

We welcomed Autumn last week with a not-so-little potluck/house-warming. The rain put a damper on enjoying our friends in the backyard, but we were nice and cozy inside. We felt very loved with so many people coming to join us and bless our home. Esther loved having so many friends over (thanks to Mimi and Pops for picking her up so a meltdown did not incur at bedtime). I didn't get many pictures as I was busy playing host, but the one above is one of Ben and I once the crowd died down (note the cute dress and boots I found at the thrift store - very proud of this find).
We've been enjoying the cooler weather and spending lots of time in the backyard...
...reading on blankets and calling to Zouga
...pretending chalk bits, rocks, and leaves were vegetables recently purchased at the market. The writing denotes: 1 Asparagus, 15 Carrots, 15 Potatoes, 1 Broccoli, etc.
...a little Mama- hooping
...and Esther-hooping
...building villages out of blocks, computer packing, and other random bits.
...and pulling out the fall wardrobe. Ben made a big to-do about Esther's cool-weather clothing 'Fashion Show', hence the picture.
