Lovely autumn.

I so love fall.

I have had some lovely times, so here are a few pics:

Labor day weekend in central Idaho. My dad, sisters and I decided to go for a drive.

I can't remember the name of this lake, but it's nice. I know it's near Gilmore, ID.

Me in a miner's cave. We were brave and went in... but only because my dad came with us.

Mojie and I test drove this beaut. I wanted it.

Sarah, Camilla and I trying on crowns at Gardener Village, which is this quaint little woman's world. Girls' night out.

Spice and I dressed up for Columbus Day. We then went caroling the news that the world isn't flat.

I dressed up as the color white. Favorite. Costume. Ever.

Helping out as a bocce ball coach at the Fall Classic Special Olympics championship.

Ahh... fall in Ohio. My parents, sisters and I went for my cousin's wedding and to visit my brother and sister-in-law. I fell in love with the colors.

My sisters and I at my Grandma Wanner's grave. I love her. 

Self-portrait in front of a covered bridge. The east is lovely.

Sisters and I on a covered bridge.Ow! Ow!

Cousin Canyon, Abbee and I at the Melt (a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant) for a birthday dinner. Nate, Mollie and I all have birthdays close to each other, so my parents treated us all for our birthdays. Yum!

Making friends with my aunt's tree creature. He liked me.

I love the giant chair we found in Amish country. I want one of my own one day.

This goat was my besty.

I love this little EJ girl. She was happily chasing this chicken.

My sisters and I on a carriage ride to the pumpkin patch. Oh, how I love my sisters.

I so wanted one of these... but I don't think the airline would have let me check it.

I loved the day spent in Amish country. It felt so much like getting back to the basics.

Abbee and I at the cheese chalet. We ate LOTS of cheese.

This was the main reason for our trip. My cousin, Arden McWilliams, and Amber Lovejoy-Rezek were married October 23. It was a lovely wedding and I am SO glad to have Amber in our family. I met her two days before the wedding and liked her instantly. It was wonderful to join them for such a lovely celebration.

Mollie, Abbee and I blowing bubbles as the newly married couple exited the church. 

Announcing Mr. and Mrs. Arden McWilliams! Aren't they a ridiculously good-looking couple?

Me and my dear Aunt Leslie at cocktail hour. She is so wonderful and valiant in her fight against cancer. I feel so blessed to have been with her for the weekend.

A few of the lovely ladies in my fam: mom, Mollie, Abbee, Amber, me, Aunt Jani, Naomi (Amber's mom). We were all getting ready to PARTY!

Our table at the lovely dinner. Clockwise from left: Celina (cousin River's girlfriend), Abbee, Mollie, me, Nate and Paige (LOVE them!). 

I love my momma and poppa. Aren't they lovely?

Us with the new couple and Canyon. I caught her bouquet!

 This is my lovely little EJ niece. She was posing. What a darling!

This is my dear Grandpa Wanner. How I love my grandpa-man!

Dad and EJ. It was SO good to be together with my dear family!

Isn't this the coolest building? It's on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, where my brother attends law school.

Aunt Jani, Aunt Heidi, Aunt Leslie and my mom. Sisters forever!

This was the psych-you-out playground at the school across from my Aunt Jani's house. It SO made me sick. 

Oh Ingrid! What a show. Her show was delightful, she was SO fun. I love her music. I love her.

Ingrid groupies. Cold hail before the show... waiting outside for TWO hours... and longish opening act.... and crazy snow after the show. ALL worth it for the delightfulness of the show.

And finally... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Oh, how I love birthdays and wonderful friends... and Indian food. Yum.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH.
