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!

Homecoming 2025

By Sarah
The tail end of summer has been so much fun.  The weather has been fantastic and we've all had special occasions to look forward to.  First up, a family party for Natalie's softball team that included pizza, whiffle ball, and seeing the girls just have a good time together as a team. Here's my favorite photo from when Michelle helped her friend, A, celebrate her 16th birthday.  Although she has been friends with A & Z since her time at the Waldorf school, Michelle ended up hanging out with a lot of strangers and had a wonderful time.  I love seeing her branch out and make new connections while maintaining her core friend group. Homecoming week included a BBQ, Powder Puff game and drone show, parade past the middle school where I was volunteering at the Rattler Run, plus a very exciting football game that even Hubby attended by being one of the basketball parents to man the concession stand. Danny did a great job tossing candy instead of throwing it and the basket...

45

By Sarah
I feel spoiled. My parents and our whole family around a dinner table was perfection. Hubby provided roses & a grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and fresh salad dinner complete with chocolate cake (decorated by Michelle).  My mom and dad bought me sweet and thoughtful gifts (including a mug Natalie had painted when my mom took her to Crackpots this summer) and even stayed to watch K Pop Demon Hunters in the basement. We thought it would be hilarious to watch them watch something so different from their favorite shows. They did not disappoint. It was a joyful evening that made me feel much better about turning 45 than I felt earlier in the day.  Below you’ll find what I had written before we celebrated.  Photo credit goes to Kate! 10 Years Ago I filled out interview questions for my 35th birthday and 5 years ago I did the same, adding 5 more questions.  I really don't think I should add 5 more every year because this is probably already too much information for an...

Adventures Begin

By Sarah
Michelle had been saving her money for years. She didn’t know exactly what for, but it turns out she used that money to travel with a group from her high school to Asia!  When people asked me at the end of the school year what I was excited for this summer, the first thing I would think of is Michelle’s trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam!  We loved getting texts and photos almost everyday and were able to FaceTime her a couple times.  She had quite the range of experiences from museums and treasures such as Angkor War to cooking classes and time on the water to learning how to fold flowers for offerings at famous Buddhas, and even hanging out with rats that sniff out landmines to be properly disposed of.  We are absolutely thrilled for her! While Michelle was in Asia, Hubby and Kate worked and Kate hung out with friends doing things like paddle boarding (it is great to hear her work stories!), Natalie and I watched the Women’s College World Series when we weren’...
