Weekend with Gabriel

Our favorite little man, Gabriel, came to visit us this weekend. Here are a few pictures of his stay, with his biggest fan, Major, prominent in many of them. Molly was content on the sidelines.

The weekend ended with Gabriel's parents, Glen & Emily, coming over for a bonfire, as well as our neighbors, the Malinowskis. This is the first bonfire we have ever had and we initiated our new firepit. It was awesome! I told Mark it was the first time I had ever "managed" the making of smores. For some reason I got a real thrill out of that. :-) Enjoy the pics.

Pumpkins & Pansies

Some pictures of this year's fall decorations and plantings.

Trapped on Their Backs

South Carolina Foliage

This is a picture my friend, Jessica, took this past week while she was 4-wheeling with her husband just a little south of us. Fall is beautiful in South Carolina as well! The colors are supposed to be better than normal this year is what I've heard. Many trees have started to turn.

Below are pictures of my coworker, Ryen, with his wife Quan and baby boy, Josiah. I thought they were so beautiful that I wanted to post them so I wouldn't lose track of them. Unfortunately, from what Ryen sent me this is as big as they get without getting blurry.

Rainbow at INSP

I took this picture with my cell phone(which is why it's so tiny) as I was leaving work in early August. There was actually a double rainbow but this was my favorite picture because of the prominence of the cross. This cross was erected at the back of the INSP property.
