Spending time with our family in Virginia is always a treat. We traveled to Leesburg to visit them on their turf and it provided a glamorous respite for all of us!

There was the awesomeness:
A quick trip to the National Air and Space Museum (you can do that when you live around the corner!) Watching the planes come in and listening to the pilots and air traffic control!Enjoying the time, and sharing in his love of aviation, with Grandpa on his birthday!
At there was the Activity:
Countless play dates with the cousins. Busy with bikes, games, pretend, parks and play centers. When the five of them are together it's fast and furious (pictured here during slide time). "Robin, when we're with you we fit in. We're usually the loudest, most busy, and energetic children at any activity. Here, Tyler, Kyle, and Connor are just like Rowan and Evangeline. How refreshing!" And lastly the Average:
How nice it is to just "be" with family. Cereal breakfast, naps, toys, and an ice cream treat are just better at Memme and Grandpas!

Epiphany is behind us and Valentines Day is fast approaching. Even so I am only just getting to posting Christmas blogs. The events of the last few weeks can't pass without note!

We celebrated a beautiful Christmas on Greenwood Drive with Lolly, Pops, and Great PopPop. Christmas services, beautiful meals, splendid desserts, sincere gifts, and rejoicing in Christs' birth.


Crazy Christmas morning sillyness was a joy with Rowan and Evangeline. Caps, Boots, Hats, and Belts were all the craze!
