louisville

bryan & i got back from our hometown late tuesday night. it was the perfect fall weekend. the trees were at peak color & the weather was just chilly enough to help you get in the spirit of fall -cold enough i caught a cold :( i was home for almost a week & very busy. we went home for my brother's last college football game, i had a jewelry show(that went really well!!) this will probably be a two part post because i still have lots of pictures to prepare.

i went for a little stroll at brown park- one of my favorite parks. isn't it awesome?i laid under this beautiful yellow tree for quite a while hoping a leaf would fall right on top of my camera because that would make a cool picture, but it didn't happen in the half n hour i waited. it was a peaceful half n hour though.
beargrass creek runs through this park & a kazillion ducks live here. this little girl was having a blast feeding them until a duck got a little too close to her hands.
we met up with our louisville gang of friends (the ones with the babies that rule our parties now). i was sitting and talking with the ladies and mitchell dropped leo on me. he had a blast styling my hair.
both of the boys are crawling everywhere & climbing stairs. here's nicholas being curious.

so. the reason we went home, my younger brother. john stephen resch jr. his entire life has been about football. and this past saturday was his last college game ever. i couldn't miss that. i only made it two games this year (but that's better than the past two years, unfortunately).

they didn't win sadly, but my brother played very well.

i am so proud of my brother. he has grown into such a wonderful man. handsome too! he came to visit me in college & my girlfriends were hitting on him- barely a freshmen in highschool & you could already tell he was going to be a catch & now on the brink of adulthood & freedom from homework he is a man. my sweet little brother.
a little bit of action from my brother.



wide receiver is his main position but this season he's also been the holder for the kicker. this play, though, he pretended to hold the ball & instead picked it up & threw for a touchdown!!!! it was so awesome. i was sitting in the stands taking pictures of it (while screaming!) & the very next frame is of a sweatshirt... damn. i missed his one & only touchdown pass. our little cheering section went nuts. my headache didn't leave for at least a day :)
his team in their very last huddle.

my uncle david & mom after the game.
the proud resch's.
a sweet moment between my dad & brother.
johnnie & his younger cousins. they were so cute asking if they could have his glove. each of these boys played football this year on three different teams. 2 teams won toybowl. football is a major gene in our family. from both sides.

more to come soon... have a great monday.
