Family Time

This weekend we went over the river and through the fields to the Hagen Family Orchard.   The drive along the river road in Illinois is beautiful and to add on a ferry trip to Brussels, IL it became a little too picturesque.  I probably spent too much time behind my phone trying to capture all of these totally normal moments that made the day so wonderful.

I think my family may have cleaned out the orchard.  We bought everything from the pumpkins, gourds, mums, to the pickled eggs and ice cream.   We had a great time and then went home and enjoyed a roast and home made apple pie!  That family sure knows how to entertain!

Enjoy the Weekend

Hey it's fall and it's lovely outside.  Go do something while we have wonderful weather.  Here are my suggestions:

Go apple picking!

Plant mums

Go on a hike

Dip your toes in a river

Make apple pie

Go to a winery

(So maybe baking an apple pie isn't exactly an outdoor activity but it kind of is when you set it on window sill to cool, right?)

Enjoy!

Brian and I are trying to choose a song to go with our wedding video.

Here are the contenders.

The last song was the only song that was acutally sung in the wedding, by my very talented cousin Jeremy Kirkland.  What do you choose?
