We're at our new pediatric dentist's office in Lakeland, TN. Both kids had great appointments, praise the Lord!
I have been trying to get Brian to take me to a Waffle House for over 15 years now. He finally relented. I can't say that the waffles were amazing, but the service was great, and the kids got these fabulous paper hats.

We may be nowhere near unpacked or settled into our new home, but our outdoor Christmas lights are up. It's called priorities... and we really need to get some.

While walking on the Wolf River Greenway in Germantown, TN, Porter found this lovely heart-shaped moss growing on a tree. What a beautiful find!

We found a wonderful walking trail at the W.C. Johnson Park in Collierville, TN.
Stella is always trying to talk Porter into giving her a piggyback ride. What a good brother!

This week while hunting for a house, we're staying at the Hampton Inn and Suites Memphis Germantown. Of course, the kids are swimming every day in the hotel pool.

We're spending this week at the Homewood Suites by Hilton Memphis-Germantown, and the kids have managed to swim at the hotel pool twice a day, every single day now!

We're currently down in Memphis, TN. Brian is interviewing for the position of Logistics Manager at the Memphis Jif plant. Of course, this is part of the J.M. Smucker family. In the picture below, you can see Brian heading out of the hotel for his interview. He sure cleans up well!

We just added reading buddies to our Little Free Library of Plano Estates. I can't wait to see the reaction of the neighborhood kids!

Our tulips are in bloom! Brian and I planted these bulbs last fall, and we've so enjoyed seeing them pop up over the last couple of weeks.
I just love the colors! This makes me so happy!

Finally, a break from the cold! It's been downright chilly here in southwest Kentucky for the last several days... or weeks... I don't know anymore. However, today was absolutely beautiful with temperatures in the 60's and full sun. We got right to my favorite place in Bowling Green, Chuck Crume Nature Park.
While on our walk, the sun was in just the right position for us to play with shadows. Obviously, one of the children was really into this.

This afternoon, Porter and Stella worked on building a gingerbread village. The whole process went better than I had expected with only one of five houses breaking (providing a yummy snack for hard-working kids). They even collaborated well together too... thank you, Jesus!
Check out their finished work:

This evening, we enjoyed a wonderful stroll through Bowling Green's downtown Christmas light display at Fountain Square Park while drinking coffee from Spencer's and eating cookies from Little Fox Bakery. What a delight!

Cardinals have been visiting our backyard lately, so we thought we would make them some peanut butter birdseed ornaments. I think they came out pretty well.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas as the Stephen house! Brian has been working hard in getting Christmas lights up in the front and back yards.
I can't seem to get a decent photo of our lights at night. This is the best I have been able to do (which is not saying much, clearly):
Christmas Lights Are Up

This just might be the life. Here's Stella sitting comfortably in a giant, bean bag chair while she reads Epic! books on her iPad and has her dog closeby to keep her company.

Oh, how I love Chuck Crume Nature Park in Bowling Green. The leaves are the most beautiful pinkish-red right now.
Stella calls this stretch of the trail, "Cotton Candy Lane." It's even more beautiful in person.

Today, we took a quick trip to Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville, Indiana. It is a lovely zoo, and it is less than 2 hours away from Bowling Green. We will definitely visit again.

Here are the pumpkins we grew this year in our little backyard pumpkin patch. It's not quite the haul we hoped for (many of our vines did not make it through the season), but we're still tickled with the ones we got.

Here's Blu living her best life, all cuddled up and cozy on our hotel bed in Chattanooga.

With this being Fall Break, we decided to take a quick trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. What a wonderful city! We absolutely loved walking through the Bluff View Art District as well as driving up Lookout Mountain and seeing the Chattanooga skyline from Point Park.
It was a wonderful trip!
