First Snow

I thought I would pop in here for a quick hello. We had our first snow of the season last week. Just a tiny little bit but enough to freak everyone out. Ha ha It's funny to see people having a heart attack. We all know that the first snow happens and then disappears. In fact, we're back close to 70 this week. Autumn is alive and well folks. No, winter didn't start last week. But I did get some really cool pictures.
On Saturday, we went to the local farmer's market. I love shopping there! I couldn't believe they didn't have good markets in the Houston area. We tried--we really did. We went searching for fresh produce and hardly found any. Granted, the supermarkets had great variety, but we wanted to buy directly from the farmers. We have a wonderful market in Murray. We came home with a bounty of fruits and veggies:

And made this amazing apples and dulce de leche pie which is to die for:
It's sinful.

Then Saturday, Emi was invited to my brother's house for his youngest son's 16th birthday. Dain said we can't call it sweet 16, so I'm calling it "cool 16". We got him his first date:
Marcos and his first dates
Alyssa doesn't think it's funny, but he cracked up and ran around showing everyone. It was a great weekend!
