Just another weekend....

This weekend was not really anything to write home about, but a weekend is a weekend, right? And we all know that weekends are good things.

This weekend started off with wine and appetizers at our favorite little wine bar, Purple.


Justin looking all dapper... reading the menu trying to decide on wines. In the end? We ended up getting several different glasses to try a few. Oh! And the next day we went to hot yoga and right next to us was the bartender. Pretty cute.


Also noted before we went to purple: shades of fire red in front of our house. If this doesn't scream "BEHOLD, welcome to fall!" I'm not sure what does.


Another shot up the tree with a few green leaves interspersed.

On Saturday, we picked up Justin's dad from the airport who flew in for a conference and then headed to meet Justin's brother, sister in law, baby Isla for a Thai dinner. After that we headed back to Jordan and Steph's house to hang out for a while.


The next day, Justin's dad spent with us so we made him dinner.  He's recently changed his diet a bit to adopt more of a plant based diet so we showed him how easy (and fun!) this can be. Above: spring rolls with tofu. (Sidenote: I doubt that Joe would totally agree that he had a blast making these. In fact, I think he may have thought that Justin's little creation was insanity). They were quite tasty though, although the prep time always takes a little while.


We also made another batch of soup. This time? Pumpkin/squash/sweet potato/coconut. Very good.


And another apple crisp to represent this fall season we are in, whether or not we really are ready for the change of seasons.
