Fall In Memphis



As the holidays approach, we have been thinking a lot about our family and friends. We sure do miss living near by family, although now we do live closer to most of you than we use to. The weather has been pretty cold here with a few nights already below freezing. But, we did enjoy the fall colors we had while they lasted; the trees in this area were just awesome.

At the beginning of this month, we played host to our first house guests here in Memphis, Elden's Parents (Thuy & Andy). Per request of the court, they were both in town to participate in Elden's hearing and express their approval of our Custody/Guardianship of Elden. The hearing went very smoothly (lasted less than 5 min). While they were in town, we were able to get a know our new city a little better, as we did some tourist sightseeing, and of course ate some good Memphis style Barbeque.

If anybody was wondering when would be a good time to visit us in Memphis, evidently there is a month long festival, called Memphis in May which I hear is a good time including music and a world championship barbeque cooking contest (http://memphisinmay.org/home.html). But we would love to have yall come visit anytime.

Wow! A blog post and a phone call from you all in one day! We will have to come see y'all sometime. I don't think Lowell has ever been to TN. Memphis is pretty cool, I went there once in high school.

Yay! A post! How crazy that you guys live so close to Joey and Katy. Keep us posted on when the new little Roberts arrives. We'd love to visit. Too bad Isaac is 2 now and we'd have to pay for a ticket for him as well. Take care!

A POST! Hooray! We were sad to not catch up with you when we were in Nashville, but realize that with just the evenings and a 203 mile drive to meet up in Memphis, it would have been a bit crazy! We will plan another trip to TN soon since we are just a few hours away...
