"I'm like 4 and a half"

This morning, as we were watching Sesame Street, Julia was pointing out a baby. Jackson said, "Julia's not a baby anymore but she's still young." I agreed and told him that he was also still young. He really disagreed and said, "I'm old because I'm like four and a half". Well, who can argue with that!

Halloween Fun!

Jackson's saving the day and attacking the monster aka Uncle Eric.

Vampires!

Pirates!

Stormtrooper!

Fall time fun!

How tall are you this fall?

Carter's Mountain apple picking

If I could only get that one!

Jackson standing in a field of "olive trees". He loves them because Vincent Van Gogh paints them.

Just plain beautiful!

Remembering the lakehouse...

Every summer we try to escape to the lakehouse in Brown County Indiana. It's definitely a laid back place to go. The nearest grocery store is about 30 minutes away. Scott's aunt and uncle own this house and are gracious in allowing the Rhamy family (extended people too) to descend on their house. Aunt Punk is an interior designer and I adore her choices for this house. It provides a great decor to relax!

Main level family room.

Lower level screened in porch. It just screams for you to snuggle up with a book or take a nap. Neither happens for me since Jackson and Julia require hands on.

Ah! The lake view from the porch.

Lower level family area that connects to the above porch.

Lower level bedroom.

kitchen - obviously.

One of two upper level bedrooms. I couldn't capture a good picture of the other one.

Upper level deck. It's like being in a tree house.

View from the deck.

The outside view of the house. We went in June and I'm ready to head there now!
