Fall in Ohio…there is nothing like it. The cool weather sets in and suddenly my crockpot and oven are gong non-stop with muffins, baked apples, beef stew, meatloaf, and anything pumpkin. I also spend as much time as I can outdoors, preferrably with camera. Here are some scenes from the week…

What do you love about Fall??

Family, family, family…that is what my weekends have been ALL about of late. Guess maybe I am feeling a twinge guilty that I will be partying it up on New York City for BlogHer 12 in less than 2 weeks. ;)

At a waterpark… pictured is my oldest boy (in the blue suit) and my girl is at the front of the two girls there.

Spent some time w/hubby’s family in Somerset, Ohio (though not under happy circumstances) and my sister-in-law likes to take pictures too, which means I am actually in one. Whaddya know?

We went to a Seniors softball game to watch Papa (my Dad) play…

The light was awesome so I got some good photos of the kids…

Such a ham…

We also hung out at my parents house…

Err…dug big holes in the ground that will supposedly someday be a big pond. And yeah, I am told it really will kill him to smile. Ah…living with a tween boy.

And we played crochet in our bathrobes of course…

 How was your weekend??

At the beginning of every year I post a collage of photos I took throughout the previous year. Sadly I took way less photos than I usually do. Better fix that for 2012 huh? Here is our 2011 at a glance. Wishing everyone a rockin New Year!

{this moment} – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. – Soulemama
