in Action?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, y&#8217;all!\u00a0 I have just been swamped the past week or 2.\u00a0 I&#8217;m so sorry!\u00a0 I&#8217;ve been busy with my <a

target=\"_blank\">MOPS<\/a> (Mothers of Preschoolers), sick kids, and at the moment, packing to go to Gatlinburg, Tennessee this afternoon through Saturday evening.\u00a0 Brian&#8217;s been working even more frantically on the website he&#8217;s developing, the super-busy season of school, and getting ready to present at the conference he&#8217;s attending in Gatlinburg.\u00a0 Amazingly, there&#8217;s been very little biking going on \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s finally turned cold here in Birmingham.\u00a0 The leaves have been gloriously beautiful the past couple weeks, and it&#8217;s so nice to finally know that fall has arrived.\u00a0 This is the 3rd year in a row we&#8217;ve made this trip to Gatlinburg, and it&#8217;s a nice fall getaway for us as a family.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toonesalive.com\/blog\/family\/?p=287\">Here&#8217;s a glimpse<\/a> from 2 years ago with a little 4-month old Josiah and a super cute 2-year old Analise.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t post any pictures from last year, but Brian&#8217;s parents went with us, and we enjoyed the Ripley&#8217;s Aquarium.\u00a0 Like last year, we&#8217;re staying in a nice little apartment\/townhouse next to the conference hotel, but his parents aren&#8217;t going.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll enjoy our little place, go swimming, walk around town, see the Christmas lights, and drive up into the Smoky Mountains a little bit.\u00a0 The kids and I will do the aquarium, I think, while Brian&#8217;s at his conference tomorrow.\u00a0 Should be fun!\u00a0 VERY VERY cold (for us Southerners!) but fun!\u00a0 The high on Friday is forecast to be 36 with a low of 18!\u00a0 That is about as cold as it gets in the south!\u00a0 Hopefully, we&#8217;ll check in tomorrow or Saturday with some pictures.\u00a0 Happy weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, y&#8217;all!\u00a0 I have just been swamped the past week or 2.\u00a0 I&#8217;m so sorry!\u00a0 I&#8217;ve
