Weekend Report

While our weekend was busy, busy, busy... we had oodles of fun! (I've come to the conclusion that when I'm busier, I'm usually happier.)

*We initially headed up to northern VA to visit some friends, who have just welcomed their third sweet baby! What a joy it was to meet the little man and see the family! Our shots include all but one of their sweet cherubs... Thank you, Brian and Julie, for a wonderful afternoon.

*We then headed to western VA for some countryside adventures, including canoeing and kayaking in a small mountain lake. M had been anticipating this particular excursion for days. While in church that morning I leaned over during the consecration to explain to him that Jesus was going to be present. Instead of responding, he looked at me and said, "boat". I think the kid has a one track mind. :)

You can imagine his excitement when it was time to set sail... Thankfully we had a mama present to sit with him in the middle and Mimi around to stay with T-baby. We all had a great time. Highlights include getting to paddle with Daddy and seeing cows "grazing" in the surrounding forest. Slightly weird, but entertaining nonetheless.

*Our last true adventure was enduring M's first bloody nose yesterday afternoon. I'm afraid he's inherited this susceptibility from a long line of nose-bleeders, from Pappy to Mama and now to poor M. What a little trooper he was to be surrounded by adults and covered in blood, yet not totally freak out (as his mother was doing inside!) Poor thing. We all survived and are stronger for it.

Hope your weekend was equally as adventurous and of course, blessed.
God bless your Monday. Let's get it started... :)
