Fall in Cleveland

We actually got a couple inches of snow on Friday night, so even if it's still technically autumn, that makes it winter time in my book (I am from Texas after all).  We've enjoyed the fall here, though.

I started work on October 25th, but so far it hasn't been intense, just a lot of training and orientation.  Here I am on my first day:

I spent most of last week in Washington, D.C., for a big conference of all the new lawyers in my firm.  I also found out on October 29th that I passed the bar exam!  Tomorrow, I'll be going down to Columbus to be sworn in, and then I'll officially be an attorney. 

Besides going to Arkansas, we enjoyed a lot of family time together before I started working.  As always, I'll let the pictures tell the story. 

We love hanging out in our backyard!

I still have a whole bunch of leaves to take care of, but Luke enjoyed playing in them.  Leo was less crazy about it, but we managed to get at least one decent picture of him.   

The week before Halloween, we went to a local farm that had pumpkins, a corn maze, a hay ride, and other fun things for the kids.

October 26th was, of course, Leo's birthday!  We'll be having his party this coming weekend when Courtney's family comes to visit, but I continued my father-son breakfast tradition by taking Leo to IHOP.  His favorite was the whipped cream on top of his pancake. 

More updating to come!
