Colonial Williamsburg

By Sarah
Kaelah & I spent two days at Colonial Williamsburg and my mom spent 1/2 a day. We had a wonderful time.
We played lots with Baby, Doggie, & our sunglasses.
Kaelah in a barrel!
We loved the cooper smith... the people working there were seriously our angels that day. The living history museums are awesome, but in Colonial Williamsburg you can sometimes feel it isn't very toddler friendly.
You'll notice my mom & I aren't in most of these pictures. Kaelah & I spent most of our time in Williamsburg while Grandma spent time doing genealogy research. Hence all the Kaelah only pix. Here she is looking out at the sheep & lambs with her mop cap on.
Kaelah could not get enough of the stocks! Every time we went past the court house we HAD to stop & play.
I just adored the scenery!
A blossoming tree by the bakery. We were graced with 2 free ginger cakes & 2 free apple ciders. Please don't ask why.
Here is a noisy & smiley Kaelah in the Governor's Palace. This is the only house tour I took b/c I have such a good imitator here. Whenever the tour guide would begin speaking in a new room, so would Kaelah. When the tour guide was quiet, so was Kaelah. When the tour guide spoke louder (to speak over Kaelah), my daughter got louder too.
This made me laugh. I adore tourism sometimes. It's really the little things in life.
Kaelah's favorite thing about Williamsburg was all the horses & other animals. Sometimes we would walk down the sidewalk following them while Kaelah kept saying "neigh" over & over. (:My favorite place to eat was the Taverns! Christina Campbell's (best food), King's Arms (best atmosphere) & Chowning's (best for lunch) were all great. A nice stranger was willing to take this picture of Kaelah & I after I explained we were on Mountain Standard Time so it was okay for my daughter to be running around in the dark at 8:30pm b/c it was really only 6:30pm at home. Thank goodness for the time change, though. We would have never been able to get timely dinner reservations!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
