T Turns 3!




Before these pics become more than a week old, here are some glimpses of T's 3rd b-day! We had two friends over last Sunday (who also happen to be brothers) and the boys all had a ball. They blew bubbles, made personal pizzas, played football in the yard, enjoyed cake and make-your-own sundaes, and reveled in the gifts! T had a GREAT birthday! Mom enjoyed it because it was celebratory and small. Let's just say we're building to #16. Baby steps. :)

In other news, we just returned from an overnight in Crozet with Mimi and Papa--such bliss! We adore the mountains and rolling wine country. We walked to get coffee this morning and have a quick dip in the neighborhood pool. Such fun! We have been rejoicing in M's new swimming skills lately. He just finished an 8-day intense private swim school that produced incredible results. The program is run through a homeschooling family who started their own swim instruction business years ago. They have 11 children and all have been swim teachers at some point in the program. I will talk more about this in a coming post, but I'm happy to report it was awesome!!! We are so proud of our M!

God bless,
