Kindergarten Musical

We had so much fun watching Samantha at the Kindergarten Musical last week.


Sunday morning - the girls are sitting on the couch, all ready to go to church. Sweet girls!

Fall fun

It's always so sad when summer is over, but here are a few reasons why I'm actually pretty excited about fall:

*Pumpkin pie! My friend Chery brought us a yummy pumpkin pie last week. I think I almost single-handedly ate the whole thing.

*Fun halloween decorations. This year we splurged on a great treat calendar from Pottery Barn, and I also made a few yard signs.

*Our family's favorite October tradition - the pumpkin patch! This year we tried the Lake Ridge Nursery. It was really fun - lots of moon bounces, a rope swing, a zip line, and we even got to drive around on toilets! Oh, and the kids got a free ice cream which was delicious.

Perfect Princess

I can't resist. Danielle went to her first birthday party last week. She got to dress up like a princess. So cute!

Duck

We just had the funnest weekend - not just fun, but funnest! We went down to Duck, North Carolina with some friends. The weather (and everything else) was absolutely perfect! It was one of those weekends you wish could last forever.

National Book Festival

The grass is always greener ...

Gary's worked really hard this month digging up our very dead grass. Today he put down new soil and sod. It looks great! Who knew a little tiny yard could be so much work.

The White House

We had a fun day Friday touring the White House.
