G'day and go colts.

On our neighborhood walk the other day, Sophia and I saw a few leaves falling from a tree at the end of our street. What might that mean? Is Autumn upon us already? Couldn't be, but September's just around the corner. Well, the end of summer is known for a few good things, great garden produce and the beginning of football season not minor amongst them. Here's some excerpts from Sophie's world the last couple of weeks:

Fam visit & fair

What a couple weeks! First, we got visits from the Douglases (Grandma Darcy and Great-Grandpa Jim) and Carpenters (Aunt Angela/Abba and Grandpa John), and then we worked and partied hard. Down below are some shots from the Indiana State Fair, where we ate a bunch of food and communed with the farm animals. Love y'all.
