Mamas and the Papas










All the leaves are brown(and red and orange)...and the sky is NOT gray! In fact, October has been simply gorgeous! Lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures. Both sets of parents have come up to visit over the last two weeks, and it was so wonderful to have them here with us. Ted's mom and dad came up for the Michigan State game, and my mom and dad came up last week for the Iowa game (such great fans they all are!). Here are lots of pictures from their visits...THANK YOU all for everything!!!

Porch decor


I bought this beautiful mum at the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market the other morning...my friend Emily snapped this photo of me holding it. We laughed because we couldn't believe how big it was..it hadn't even fully bloomed yet! (and it was only $8!) The lady said it should last about 8 weeks...we'll see if I can keep it alive for that long!
