Christmas Card pics....

We had our friend Phom take pictures a few weeks ago at our house for our Chritmas card. It was a great day and there were a lot of good shots. Here are a few that I liked that didn't make the actual card we are sending out

Christmas Decorations are up!

I know I know...

...I haven't done a good job posting this Fall. I have had a lot going on. Work has been crazy, my grandfather in Atlanta passed away and I had a whirlwind trip to Atlanta for the funeral. But there has been some fun stuff keeping me busy too. David had his birthday and I surprised him with a fun Cowboy cake. This past weekend we went away with friends from church to a cabin outside Mountain View. It was soo much fun ( 5 couples and 4 dogs and it happened to be bean fest in town that weekend too, hah!)
Then we celebrated Halloween by dressing Rascal as a pirate. You can tell in the picture how much he enjoyed it (not very much).

Welcome Fall!

Today I have my "Fall" to do list. I am putting put my Fall decorations. Mine do not look quite as extravagant as this beautiful Fall topiary. Also on my list is to put all the summer clothes up and pull out my fall/winter clothes. Now it just needs to get a little cooler out so I can wear those sweaters!!

Day Trip

Today we went to Paul Michael's in Lake Village, AR to do some Christmas decoration shopping. Yes, we need a storage unit just for our christmas decor, but I had to go get more! They had some awesome displays I had to share!

San Francisco/Wine Country

We just got back from a week in California for vacation. We were supposed to get back Friday evening but due to fog and lots of flight delays we ended up getting rerouted all over, spending the night in Dallas and getting home Saturday morning!
The good news is our luggage made it back to us!

I loved San Francisco. It is a city of wonderful food! I love sourdough bread, so I was in heaven. The best dinner we had was at North Beach Restaurant in Little Italy!

We also spent some time in Wine Country, which I also fell in love with! We went to two wineries, the town of Sonoma and a champaganery. It's beautiful there!

Waiting for Fall...
