Happy Halloween!!

The pumpkin has been carved and we are ready for an evening of trick-or-treating.  The weather is very cold and windy and it feels like Halloween! 

 Have fun everyone!

Charleston...We're Back

My husband had the week off so we headed to Charleston for several days.  It's one of our favorite places.  The weather was beautiful and we had such a wonderful time!  I miss it already.  We stayed here which was perfect!  

So happy to be at the beach!

Charlotte loves the water!

Charlotte and daddy.

Having fun in downtown Charleston.

Playing in the fountain.

The park by the waterfront.

Charleston is truly such a beautiful city full of gorgeous homes, cobblestone streets,  beautiful flowers, and lots of delicious food!

We ate lunch here outside on the porch...perfect!

Dad teaching Charlotte how to swim.  She absolutely loved playing in the pool.

Gorgeous sunset as we headed over the bridge to downtown Charleston for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Magnolias.  The best shellfish and grits I have ever tasted!

A vacation was exactly what we needed.  We all had such fun together!  I love my little family!

Shelton Vineyards

Wow!  What a wonderful family day we enjoyed at Shelton Vineyards yesterday!  The weather was perfect.  Lots of sunshine and temperatures in the mid 60's.  

My two loves!!

Ready for the festival and looking so cute in her new outfit!

Charlotte loved throwing little sticks in the pond.

Charlotte and mommy.  Mommy is enjoying a nice glass of red wine after the wine tasting.

Charlotte danced and had so much fun while the band performed!  She put on a show for everyone!

We had a little picnic by the pond with my favorite chardonnay!

I am feeling very thankful today for my family and all of the special memories we are making together! 

The Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual visit to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday and Charlotte had a blast!  I love all the pretty pumpkins!  I could have brought them all home with me.

Silly girl!

She found the perfect miniature pumpkin.

She loves this little pumpkin!  I think she was having a conversation with it.  So sweet!

Ready for Fall!

October...

I looked at my husband last night and said "Wow, can you believe tomorrow is the first day of October!"  We are both amazed at how fast September flew by.  Today was very cool and wet and it feels like Fall.  

We have some fun things planned for this month.  This coming weekend we plan to take Charlotte to the pumpkin patch to select the perfect pumpkin.  The following weekend we are going to a Harvest Festival at Shelton Vineyards.  It's such a beautiful winery.  We hope to escape to the coast for a few days mid October and then Halloween is just right around the corner.  Charlotte wants to be a ballerina this year, so I need to get busy with her costume.  

Oh, and I was the lucky chosen winner at Paisley Handmade.  I won a lovely holiday garland package and the Halloween garland already found a home on my mantle.  I just love Jenny's garlands!  She is such a talented girl!

Ready for Fall!

Here is the Thanksgiving garland and Christmas garland.
