A Family Sort of Weekend


It was the best kind of Autumn weekend!


Beautiful weather made for fun days filled with family.
Saturday we drove to Philadelphia to visit our newlyweds, Amanda and Tim.
A trip to the Italian market for delicious cheeses and Italian pastries,
were followed by watching the Penn State game and a stop at a local micro-brewery.


Can you guess which beer was mine?

Sunday was filled with family portrait sessions and a pizza party in the pavilion.
There's nothing like a roaring fire on a cool Autumn day.
And nothing like yummy homemade pizza in a wood-fired oven!


Here are a few of my favorite family photos...
Tyler, and his Mommy and Daddy...



Mackenzie and her Mommy and Daddy...


and of course, Sam.


Cousins...



Tyler has the utmost patience with his little cousin.


And boy, those big brown eyes just melt his Grammie's heart!
