What's a family to do from November thru March?

Football Season Has Arrived

"Bring it on Uncle Kevin!"

Ryan looks forward to his football phone conversations with Kevin. Analysis and commentary, with a bit of taunting, over the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers has created a great bond between these two.

Taste of Fall

We took advantage of the spectacular weather on Saturday and went for a drive to the Shanandoah foothills to pick apples. Then came home and enjoyed apple pie on Sunday.

School Days

Although we tried to get to bed early the house was a buzz with anticipation well past bedtime. The first day of school jitters. By time Madelyn and Ryan came home after school the jitters had given way to non-stop talking about all the exciting happenings planned this school year.

Best part about second grade: "Everything!"

Best part about fifth grade: "Sitting in the back of the bus!"
