the best of Fall weekends continue

so we had the pleasure of a visit from our good friends (Jason & Shannon) this weekend from Cleveland. they were in town for a concert on saturday night but stayed with us fri & sat. because shannon and i share a strong affinity to all-things-Fall... I thought it would be fun to take them along with us on our annual Freeman Farm trip. love, love, love this time of year, all the fun little outings and seeing the girls enjoying the beauty of this season. though i was easily distracted with my current family happenings (will blog about it later), twas a really great weekend! To top it off, my brother Tony was in town Saturday to Sunday. I havent seen him in about a year and a half so it was WONDERFUL to have him here. Ellia warmed up REAL quick to her uncle and we enjoyed being able to spend a tiny bit of time with him. Poppi shared a great message in church on Sunday & we enjoyed having the girls with us to listen. Guess its back to the grind today, oh and tending to the house which currently looks "like a bomb went off!" ;).
Here are a few photo capturings of the weekend...
