goodbye summer, hello fall!

Labor Day weekend is the official start of fall for me! It may not feel like it outside, but with the pool closing, football beginning, Home Depot covered up with folks, and the PSL at Starbucks out, how can it not be?

We were lucky enough to have Daniel home with us for both Friday and Monday, making our holiday weekend even more fun! :)

Friday morning we took a walk up to DD for coffee and donuts. We did this ALL the time last fall, and I'm so glad the mornings are cooling off a little, allowing us to continue this little tradition. This shot is of the girls back in their stroller on the way home, guess leaving Dunkin Donuts isn't much fun. 

On Friday evening, Daniel and I had the pleasure of attending the NC State/UT game. I sported my red and black for NC State, since we were guests of their's {and b/c any time I can wear red and black against the Vols, it makes me happy! ;) }. On a side note, we were unaware of this accident until later on in the night. We were completely shocked and saddened by the incident and are praying for healing and comfort for the family of the victim. 

Saturday morning, we packed up and headed over to Athens to cheer on the Dawgs! My little cheerleaders stayed back at the house during the game, but were ready to play when we returned! 

We watched at wedding take place on Saturday evening, next to Grand Dan's house, and as I was saying to Daniel that I had never heard a bride walk down the aisle to a song with lyrics (vs an instrumental one) he said, "Callie, that bride is signing!" Sure enough, the bride and groom met each other in the aisle, singing to each other. Just when you thought you'd seen it all...

The little punkin was sick Saturday night/Sunday morning. I was up most of the night with her. I took her into an after hours clinic on Sunday thinking it was an ear infection, and while she does has fluid in one ear, it's just a cold right now. This picture is pitiful.

On Monday, we took a family trip over to Home Depot to get some things for the yard, like these pretty Mums! I LOVE Mums! They are so colorful and remind me that cooler weather is on it's way...even if that means a couple months.

And finally after naps on Monday, we headed up to the DCC pool for one last hoorah! I understand it is open next weekend, but Daniel has school, so I highly doubt we'll make it up there again! The girls had dinner and played till their hearts' content! We have had a blast this summer up at the pool with all of our friends, and can't wait until May when it opens again!
