we're alive! goodness, i don't even remember how to blog. jared & i have been keeping busy with work, school, and a little traveling here and there (maui, we just couldn't help ourselves... a few maui photos can be seen
::: here :::)
right now we are loving the beautiful autumn weather and changing of the leaves. my sweet sister dori came by last night with some tomatoes from her garden. they're gorgeous. and if that wasn't enough, she also brought over some pumpkin gingerbread, fresh out of the oven, with cream cheese cinnamon goodness to slather on it. mmm mmm mmm. she's fabulous..
thank you dori!
through the end of the summer season i was itchin to open the windows.. autumn couldn't come soon enough. autumn is my favorite. open windows are also my favorite. i love breezes and fresh air coming into our little apartment. this morning we woke to the smell of rain and raindrops on the window above our bed. another favorite. before jared went to work i made a batch of dutch babies. yes please. that's our second round of dutch babies this week. my favorite (and i think it's the traditional way to eat them) is powdered sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. the first time i made them this week, i didn't have a lemon, so i squeezed an orange on them. still fantastic. i still haven't picked up lemons.. so this morning we gave our dutch babies a little blueberry preserves lovin.
otis redding, sam cooke, al green, and nina simone joined us for breakfast. and jared & i shared a sweet dance in the kitchen before he left for work. another favorite.
happy autumn everyone. get out and enjoy it.
