More Fall Saturday Activities

This fall we have tried to do a fun, fall, family activity each Saturday. Here are some pictures from two different Saturday events that were in September.

We went to Scott and Suzanne Capplinger's house for a cookout and had a great time. The baby's got very dirty, especially Lindsey, so they all got to take a bath together before we all went home. They were so cute that we just had to get some pictures :)

Another Saturday, we went to a new outdoor mall, The Greene. It was really neat and we had a lot of fun just strolling the streets.

Camping Trip

We went on a tent camping trip two weekends ago and had an awesome time. We went with Jonathan's family and we camped at Hueston Woods State Park in Ohio near the Indiana border. We went for Friday and Saturday night and wished we could have stayed another 5 nights. I tooks tons of pictures - to be exact - 437 pictures and I am posting about 100. Hope you enjoy.

Visit to Shaw Farm - Milford, OH

This past Saturday during the day before we went out for our anniversary, we went to Shaw Farm in Milford, OH. Mom, Dad, Jenna, Jacob, and Anna all rode with us in our van. It was a lot of fun.

My brothers and their wives were gone on a 3 night stay with 12 couples in our church to Gatlinburg, TN, so my Mom and Dad kept their kids while they were gone.

We had a lot of fun at the farm and got some great pictures.

Wedding Pictures

Here are the promised pictures.


DISCLAIMER- These are all pictures taken of another picture = bad quality. Unfortunately we were married just shortly before the digital camera popularity days. In real life my pictures are awesome and great quality. I had to take most of the pictures at an angle to avoid the glare - hence the distorted look in some of the pics.

Hope you enjoy!

Our Wedding Oct 2000

Happy 7th Wedding Anniversary to US!

I have now been married to the man I LOVE for 7 years.

October 14, 2000 - 1:30 p.m. - West Chester, OH

Our story to wedded bliss started at Youth Challenge in Oct of 1999. We became engaged on tax day, April 15, 2000 and six short months later we tied the knot. For better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health. I can't say that every day has been a cake walk, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. It is great getting to spend the rest of my life with the man I Love.

Jonathan, I love you very much. Yours Always, Leanna

Since our anniversary is on a Sunday this year, we celebrated on Saturday. Jonathan had to go into work really early Saturday morning for a couple of hours and when he returned home he woke me up with a dozen roses and a sweet card. He's the best. We went out to eat Saturday evening - just the two of us. We never go without Lindsey, so it was quite the treat and we spent 5 enjoyable hours together. We decided to stick close to home and not spend time driving to our destination. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Bravo's ~ http://www.bestitalianusa.com/ ~ located at ~ http://www.streetsofwestchester.com/. A very nice location and a wonderful place to start our evening. Thanks, Babe - I had a great time!

Toast: Here's to another 7, plus many, many more Happy Anniversary's!

It looks like we may get to go camping after all - since my stipulation was that it had to get cooler.

One of the comments made on my previous post made made me laugh and I agree with them. I'm complaining about not having cool weather now and then I'll probably turn right around and complain about it being too cool, but I guess that's how it goes! Gotta love those season changes! :)

Have a great Sunday! Our church is actually having an outside baptismal service, Sunday afternoon and as you already know, there won't be any problems with the weather since it's supposed to be in the mid 90's.

~ LEAVES ~

I love fall, but... it's because of the weather that we normally have during this time of year. WHERE IS THAT COOL WEATHER??? I am missing it so bad. It's pretty bad when we are still wearing short sleeves and sandals and the temperature is 90 outside and in the 80's every single day. Not to mention that not even jackets are needed in the late evening. Absolutely crazy. I sure am glad it wasn't this way in 2000 or I would have been sorely disappointed on my wedding day - in regards to the weather that is, since we were married on 10/14. We are wanting to go camping in a couple of weeks, but it will be called off till cooler weather if it hasn't cooled down any before then. OK, I'll get off my high horse since none of y'all can help me out in this situation :) ha ha

On another note of fall weather, Lindsey played in the leaves for the first time Friday. We went outside to let her swing. I decided to rake some leaves around the swing set and I just kept raking and ended up doing a large area in our backyard. Needless to say, Lindsey ended up hardly playing on her swing set. She discovered the childhood joy of playing in the leaves. She started playing in them, jumping in them, throwing them, etc. without me even mentioning the idea so it must be instinct - ha ha! I was only able to grab some pics with my cellphone so not great quality, but at least I was able to capture the moment.

Have a great weekend!
