Fall in photos

This fall has highlighted how truly amazing this season in Minnesota can be. The colors have been amazing and the weather could not have been more beautiful! We have had some time to take in some fun fall activities including tailgating, football, walks and jogs near the water, picking out pumpkins, and time spent with family and friends! I love all of the seasons in Minnesota (yes, even winter) and this fall has proven itself to be a favorite!

Mike and I watched Kensley and Mason for a weekend while Frankie and Gretchen were traveling. We had so much fun playing with them!



I am slowly learning more about landscaping, gardening and maintaining (maybe next year I'll move past maintaining and start cultivating) potted plants. I love fall colors and mums! I even bought a fall welcome wreath from Michael's for our front door and got really excited about it...I'm officially old!

 The McQuillan family all headed up to St John's University for Joe's last homecoming as a college student. It is so hard to believe that he is already a senior in college. Sometimes I still feel like I am just leaving for college, and Joe is just heading into 5th grade...hard to believe how fast time flies!

Mike and I in our borrowed Johnnies gear! Thanks for hooking us up Joe and Frankie!

One adorable family!

The best parents a girl could ask for!

Mike and I also headed to Stillwater, MN to check out the fall colors and enjoy the last days of the historic lift bridge as it exists today.
