Go Lady Hilltoppers!

Today marks the end of an era. While technically Lauren has a few more weeks in the soccer season, today was Senior Day. Before her game, Lauren was recognized not only for being a senior but also for having excellent work ethic. I am so proud of her! I spent most Saturdays of my childhood at Lauren's soccer games. She is so talented. I have always been proud of her accomplishments in soccer, but I am most proud of her beautiful character. I can't wait to see what she will accomplish next! Great job Lolo!! You're the best!!!

Jackson's Orchard

Yesterday Cate, Gramma Dot, and I drove down to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to visit my little sister, Lauren. We also met up with my parents who drove up from Naples, Florida, and my Aunt Becky and Uncle Todd who also drove down from Indiana. Lauren is a senior on the soccer team at Western Kentucky University, and tomorrow the seniors will be recognized before their game! It was also Lauren's 22nd birthday this week, so we have plenty to celebrate. We spent today visiting Jackson's Orchard nearby. It was scenic and charming. We saw hundreds of pumpkins, including some varieties I had never even heard of before (cheese pumpkins anyone?). And bonus- I bought apple butter that I can't wait to taste/eat with a spoon. My favorite part was the petting zoo. Cate was fearless and sweetly curious with the animals, and Lauren and I got so many cute pictures that I felt the need to put them all in a blog post (even though I haven't posted in months!) instead of posting each one to Facebook or Instagram. Enjoy!
