October

The month of October has been full of travel and lots of fun (at least for the 3 girls in our crew.) We started out by spending a *wonderful* and relaxing weekend in East Tennesee with the Cudz, Ogles and Hayeses at a couple beautiful cabins along the Clinch River. The main event of the weekend was the UT-Auburn game in Knoxville, and although the Vols lost, it was a great day of tailgating and friends. Being in the mountains and in Knoxville on game day was fun for me, but a soul recharge for Scout. I definitely saw him coming back to life that weekend from all his recent studying and the lingering post-traumatic stress (little smile) of residency.... sweet. Sweet sweet sweet. Thank you, MeMe and PaPa and the Neals for keeping our little ones so we could enjoy the weekend and thank you, Julie, for making the game happen for us!
We were all standing around Scout like he was the elderly patriarch of the group.
We thought we were hilarious.
We see now that we are not. =)



From Knoxville, Scout went back to Memphis to hide-away for the week and study-study-study after work for the Pediatric Boards. He took them a week later, is so glad to have them in the rearview. (Until the next ones!) We missed him on our trip for sure, but it's always best to get the little darlings out of the house whenever focus is in order!


The girls and I headed up to Ashland for a few days to visit Momsie and Bandaddy, Kate and I went to Cincinnati for a day, and we finished up in Princeton visiting Granny for a few days before heading home. It was a really great trip on all fronts. I did not take any pictures other than these that I took on my phone of our (quick!) Cincy trip. We pulled up to Naomi's house to find a sweet early birthday party for Kate. It was precious and the girls had such fun running around and playing like always! Thank you, Watsons and Janine, for a great day!
