You know you are an adult when...

you intentionally drive out to look at the leaves. Last weekend, Kevin and McLean and I headed out to Brevard. We walked around downtown and ate lunch there. Then, we drove through Pisgah National Forest up to the parkway. We drove the parkway by Mt. Pisgah and back home. The leaves and the views were incredible. It was a fun day. Last Sunday, we celebrated a big milestone for our friend Owen. He celebrated his first birthday and it was soooo much fun! We have been busy this week with my dad's surgery. He had neck surgery on Wednesday. He came through the surgery well after a long day of waiting---the surgery was delayed and started late. Now, we are praying for a quick and painless recovery. He seems to be in good spirits now.

Change of Scenery

We went to Madison and Greensboro to visit some of Kevin's family this past weekend. We have not been out of town in a while, it was a nice change of scenery. However, it sure felt good to come home to the mountains! We had a great trip. Here are some picture highlights of the trip.

McLean eating chocolate chip cookies at 9:00 Saturday morning--only at Grama's house!
McLean loved Pop!
The Street Festival in downtown Madison--McLean was not scared of the clown.
Leaving the street festival. Kevin's grandparents live in downtown, so we were able to walk to the festival.
Hanging out with Uncle Mike and eating ice cream.

As you may know, our little fellow is pretty independent. He won't eat anything from a spoon from us anymore, because he must do it himself. Well, the ice cream was a different story. He was more than pleased to let me feed him the ice cream.

We got to eat at Fuzzy's BB-Q on Sunday with Gram and Pop. Yummy, yummy!

On Sunday, I went to Blair's baby shower for her sweet baby girl that is due in December. It was at a really cute tea room. Fun times!
