In my haste to move my photos from Google to my super fantastic wireless storage drive, it seems I've deleted most of the photos from my blog.
Sorry, I'll try to fix it soon.

C-ville
Little Man and I took a quick road trip down to Charlottesville to see some friends a few weeks ago. These friends used to be in DC, then moved to Kansas, and now they are back in Virginia! Hooray!
They also have a new addition to the family that I needed to meet, and their firstborn and our LM needed to meet and become buddies for the first time! So, off we trekked while Frank went to a Red Skins game.
I wish I could say that the drive down was uneventful, but it was not. I'll spare you the full story (and the photographic evidence) and just say that I learned my son may struggle with carsickness and maybe cheesy eggs and milk aren't the best breakfast immediately before getting into the car. The result of this enormous mistake was a new car seat (luckily the exit we "chose" had a Babies R Us), major use of my friend's washing machine, and the boys getting to take a bath together after lunch! Hooray!
Ugh, it was awful. But worth it in the end!
The boys got along well, the new addition was so sweet and quiet that I kept forgetting he was there, and I got to spend some serious quality time with my friends!
I hope to get to go back to C-ville again soon, and take Frank, too. And this time we'll have plain waffles for breakfast about an hour before we get in the car!

The new addition - sweet little sleeper!

How cute are those little men?!
And their not-on-purpose-matching-diapers? Too cute!

Playing with 'choo choos' was a big hit!

Ahh, Fall
We've actually had some fall around here this year. Usually we get about two days of fall, then dive straight into winter blah, but not this time!
(I'm going to pretend that I didn't just have a 4 month hiatus from this blog, because nobody likes to read the "sorry I'm a bad blogger" posts)
Today we got to hang with some great friends, get some fresh air, eat fantastic food, and have LM reaching for his crib at bed time. WIN, WIN, WIN, and WIN.
We started the day with a trip to a farm to pick pumpkins. LM and JR go to run around a lot, which was great! There were various farm animals around that the kids could pet, including a cow!
Once in the pumpkin patch the kiddos got to do some more exploring. I think they really enjoyed the freedom! They were like little adventurers tromping through the jungle.
After nap time we all reconvened at another friend's house for more play time and dinner. The dinner was ah-mazing (green beans & pancetta? why, yes, thank you!) and it was fun to have the kids all in one place. We spent a lot of time laughing at ourselves, too - only 33 months ago, our dinners together were beginning at 8pm and lasting into the following day, and now everyone has to be headed home by 8pm to make bed time!
Anyway, we got to eat outside and the company was wonderful. I hope you're all (whoever is left of you) having a great fall, too!

After wandering around for a while, we loaded up for the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. The ride was nice and the kiddos seemed to really get a kick out of it.
