It's in there!

We didn't know if it would fit, but Daddy got the piano in the basement! Katie Grace has been taking piano for a couple of years and needed to move on from our little keyboard. Family has been helping her save for it, and God provided an amazing deal on a beautiful piano!
He's so good!

Fall Break Fun!

Here are some snippets of the Fair Family Fall Break!

In the video, you'll see...
playing at Fort Kid (also went to the Museum of Art, the Sunsphere, & Krispy Kreme that day),
KG enjoying Memaw's Apple Pie,
the Zoo (spoonbills, snow leopards, gorilla, merry go round, and butterflies! KG SO wanted one to land on her...she found a worker to help her make it happen!),
the Foothills Fall Festival (climbing wall, bouncer, and kazoo show),
and last, the kids playing under the pull-out bed...
Fun times, I tell ya!






Monday, we spent the day with the Hitsons at Indian Boundary Campground...we got there for breakfast and stayed for s'mores! The kids rode and rode and rode their bikes all day...Nathan is still especially proud of his lack of training wheels!




Tuesday is the Museum, Sunsphere, Fort Kid, and Krispy Kreme...





Here's ol' boy Silas in his VERY appropriate shirt from Granna!
He's starting to sit up like a big boy at almost seven months!


It rained Wednesday, so we hung out around the house...
Thursday we headed to the Zoo!



Here's Fall Festival on Friday...

Nathan likes the velcro wall!


MMMM...that cotton candy is scrumptious!We're taking a break today and getting ready for the real world to return on Monday!
