And when Irish eyes are smiling....

Sure, they steal your heart away.

sunday.

The rarest Autumn morning,
of leaves set all ablaze.
The mildest touch of sunlight,
amid the Autumn haze.
The booted feet of daybreak,
falling to the ground,
The cool clear air a stirring,
God's poetry profound.

home sweet home...

Mimi & Chuck's housewarming party was yesterday.  We had a wonderful time helping them celebrate their charmingly warm new home.  It is such a blessing having them here with us. 

off with his tail.....

Poor Ace has been having some trouble with his tail lately, so we had to take a trip to the vet this morning to see why he has started trying to chew it off.  Apparnetly once a dog gets a taste for their own tail, they cant seem to stop themselves. Even if the dog's tail fully heals, he is still susceptible to falling back into the same behavioral problem as before.  More often than not, cutting the tail off is recommended.  It didnt take us long to make the decision seeing how we have all suffered the effects of Ace's whipping tail. I think even Ace is sick of hitting it on the walls & furniture, not to mention the raft of shit he has to take from Chico when he hits him with it.  I mean, he was the one to start chewing it off.  I think we get the point. So long destructive, menacing tail.....

Forest Hills 70, Cuthbertson NOTHING.

We went to Dylan's football game last night and they got beat pretty severely, but it was still a lot of fun to watch.

It's Friday and I am so bored. I love you, Ryan. I can't wait till were home with the boys....

because goat pics never get old...

I took this picture with my phone @ the beginning of summer on a Saturday when Ryan was working and I was laying in the sun on the back deck. Jr insisted on standing over me the whole time I was out there.

Become one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

Sunday was such a beautiful fall day, it had just the right amounts of brisk air & sun and was the type of day that you just had to get outside and take advantage of, despite how much wine you had drank at the plant swap the day before. We decided to hike through the woods to where our neighbor constructed a rather large two person tree stand behind our house this fall and become one with nature. We got to hear the leaves crunch beneath our feet, climb the treestand, watch for deer, and just experience the peace of the woods on such a delicious day.

While we were doing that, Kelly shot her very first deer. Someone’s gotta put meat in the freezer. Bad@ss.
