savannah.

for some reason, i've always wanted to go.

to savannah, georgia.

and we did.

on our way to uncle bob and aunt linda's.

we took a detour.

a beautiful, southern, historic detour.

the pictures do not do it justice.

and we only stayed about 1 hour.

because little sammy had a fever.

the southern charm of this old city was so very evident.

paul and i said we would come back someday.

without the kids.

i can't wait.

sweet reality.

sweet reality is...

my little kindergartener

sitting at the kitchen table.

dilegently doing her homework.

singing.

...

"you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

you make me happy when skies are gray.

you never know dear how much i love you.

please don't take my sunshine away."

...

i love my sweet reality.

happy fall y'all.
