Camping!!!

We leave to go camping with Scott and Lisa today. We will be gone until Tuesday. Since I should be packing the car instead of blogging I will just leave you with this:

Happy Broken Leg Day!!

Today it has been one year since this day:


To celebrate this day, a day when The Lord was with us and took care of us in amazing ways, we had a Broken Leg party!

Bone sandwiches



Broken bone/fixed bone bread



Chocolate/pretzel/marshmallow bones



"X-Ray Man!"



Maple Bacon bone cookies






"Look Mommy! It looks just like my leg!"






We love this boy so much!

Change has arrived

Water Rock Knob Adventure

This morning we woke up to a fall chill and a few colored leaves outside.  We felt adventurous.

Anna, Andrew and I drove up the parkway to Water Rock Knob for a little hike.  I brought all the woolies I could find that still fit them (I haven't finished knitting up their new winter wardrobes yet.  It's only October 3rd.), and I was glad I did.  It was 37 degrees up on that mountain!

I had planned to have a little picnic on the tables near the parking lot.  I really just wanted to get us all outside for a bit.  But as soon as Andrew saw the trail, he was off. 

In the car on the way up, Andrew and I talked about the possibility of finding a cave.  There is a Curious George episode or two that take place in caves, and he is very curious about them.  Lo and behold, we found a 3-year-old sized cave on the way up:

I thought we might get up to the first landing and be tired, but we ended up getting almost all the way to the top before runny noses and cold fingers convinced us to turn around.

It was a wonderful adventure.

Look familiar?

Just like her brother.

Girls Weekend

We went on a lovely trip with the girls to shop and be together.


Fun times at the hotel.


Anna was a good little shopper.

Of course we missed our boys. Thank goodness for FaceTime.


I love how she crosses her ankles. Such a lady.


We all needed a little caffeine to keep up with this girl.
