Autumn's Beginning

I have been so anxious for fall to get here. It's probably because of the scorching summer we've endured this year, but regardless, I LOVE fall. We've had glimpses here and there of a cool morning, but it still gets in the 90s daily. We are pressing on though, in hopes that fall will still make its appearance.

Last night, we decided to have family time around the new fire pit that Sean and Chrissie gave us (Travis) for helping them move. I was SO excited about this because I LOVE a fire. It was so nice to relax around it and roast marshmallows. Sage had her first smore (yep, her first), but she honestly wasn't too impressed. She liked the marshmallows by themselves more.

I decided to play a game that I grew up playing back in my youth group days around campfires: the one where you start a story and then pass the stick to someone else to keep it going. At first Travis and Sage were like, "Um, what?" But I said, "USE your imagination. Get creative." We all need to keep doing that. Before the night was over, Sage was outdoing all of us with her story lines. It was really fun, and we will definitely be doing it again.Sage's first smore...not too impressed

Cute, cute

This was my first attempt to use the self timer. I'm pretty impressed with myself.
