and "that's a WRAP!"
After a fun Fall break with Nana & Papa.....
Willie and I wrapped up Fall Break with a visit to the Little Course, a 3 par 9 hole adjacent to Vanderbilt's Legends. It's just down Franklin Road and casual. Willie was please with my "best mom" effort to get him on a real course. It dawned on me driving up to the clubhouse---I had no idea what I was doing. Not deterred, we got our clubs and headed out to the first tee. I teed off first to learn (from a friendly mom, who turned out to be one of their pros) that I needed to turn around and tee toward the first hole (not the 9th). Poor Willie--he was a little embarrassed but he hung with me. After I got pointed in the right direction....Willie coached me up on which clubs to use when and rules of the game. Of course, he beat me and we had us another memory for these precious times.
The first grade classes put on a how at the Barnyard Moosical. Willie has a bit of the theatre in him and loves an opportunity to perform---have you had dinner with us lately? Ruby gave him a great hug after his performance.
Final football pics to come. The professional photographers got some shots I couldn't resist purchasing so I'll share when I get them.
And, here's Daddy, who wrapped up another year this week. Happy 37, Daddy!!!
Bring it on, November!

Baseball and Football seasons ended this week too---our last baseball of season was played on LU's Draper Diamond (Lady Softball) which was a treat to play under the big lights. The weather was cool enough I was grateful we were wrapping up Fall Ball, and the chill in the air had Willie looking alive! He earned the gameball for his best game of the season. One of the mom's asked me what I fed him before the game. My reply...."oh, it was my pregame speech." She thought I was joking.

Of course, October wraps up with some serious fun with our neighbors on Halloween. We gathered at the neighbors for dinner, costume dressing and caravan to the a nearby trunk or treat after nearby tricks and treats. We even made sure to visit our old neighbors on the way home.
And, here's Daddy, who wrapped up another year this week. Happy 37, Daddy!!!

the UK
Most times Willie is a big help. This morning, I had both kids ready to go to church with 10 minutes to spare to get myself ready---which is a breeze if I have no interruptions. I sent Willie and Ruby to get buckled in and to read while I pulled myself together.
Thankfully, when I entered the garage I heard no feuding only willie reading sweetly to Ruby. On the way to church, he proceeded to read about the author to her noting she was from the UK. He paused and said.."Ruby, you know where the UK is right?"
"Where?"
"Kentucky."
I insert "actually, in this case, Willie, it the United Kingdom. Do you know where the United Kingdom is?"
He replies, "yes, it's where ALL people live."

Football!
first, How 'bout them DAWGS!
Ruby started out morning with her best soccer game of season. She had a little more fire in anticipation of us going to visit her friend Madelyn after the game. I bribed her and it worked. (Never had to do that with WW, but if you're going to make the effort to be at game with pig tails and cupcakes for whole team---then let's make it worth it!)
perfect, Fall Day! (except I can't figure out how to enlarge these pictures from FB) but you get the idea....crisp, Fall weather with 6 flag pulls and a beautiful reception! Wonder if the extra intensity had anything to do with our neighbors (girls) coming to watch WW play? Ruby and Willie rode home with our friends and ended day playing in leaves and catching crawdads in the creek.

Willie wanted me to hold him while we ended day watching SEC football. Like I said, perfect day. Or restated "almost perfect", Daddy was with his own team---Go Bisons!

Walton, Senters earn top 5 ratings in Fox Sports A-Sun poll - Lipscomb University Official Athletic Site
Great article about my Coach Jay and Coach Shaun. There are 30+ asssistant coaches in the A-Sun and Jay and Shaun were voted in the top 5 in Fox Sports A-Sun poll. Understand that I'm very biased and you are reading my blog---but seriously to have 2 assistants in the top 5---you know they split the vote!
