a quick trip to c-ville

One of the reasons I was so excited to move back home was to be close to my sister and her family as well as Katherine and her family! My sister is in Charlottesville, which is about a 2.5 hour drive, and Katherine is only 30 minutes from her! I am one lucky girl.

The start of school for my sister meant that their house was empty during the days, so Aaron, Canon and I took full advantage of that, as well as their one-floor layout! We went down last Tuesday and stayed til Thursday. It was great to spend time with them and Canon absolutely loves his Cousin Cole. Cole loves him too, and on Wednesday night said (with no prompting) "Baby Canon is my best friend!" Melt.My.Heart. I'm looking forward to lots more memories of these two!

The perfect front yard, complete with a swing! 

 Cole's train table, which may have provided more entertainment for Aaron!

I wish I had a picture, but really, Canon stood at this table almost the entire time playing. There were so many new and fun toys at their house! 


I was lucky enough to get a short time with Katherine, Mama Lee and Miss Caroline! Once again, I didn't get enough pictures, but we sure had fun! It'll be great to get to see them more often too! 

 Kat and her mom would want me to excuse their appearance, we showed up right in the midst of a bathroom reno and they had been sanding and painting all day! 


Hopefully there will be many more posts like this to come! 

And guess who turns 1 in just 6 days.....I can't even begin to talk about it, I'm going to be a mess!

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer?  We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!!  What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)?  The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that!  Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...

Fort Wayne Fun!

To be honest, when Aaron told me we were likely moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana....I wasn't thrilled at the geographical part of that statement. I didn't know much about the midwest and thought that Fort Wayne was a tiny town with lots of cows, corn and not much else. Thankfully, I was wrong! Fort Wayne is actually awesome. There are TWO Chick-fil-a's, lots of parks and playgrounds, rivers that run through, an awesome Children's zoo and much more. Here just a quick snapshot of some of the fun we've had this summer in Indiana. Camping - friends invited Aaron and the big boys on their first overnight tent camping experience! This state park was just 45 minutes from our house. I came up with the littles, then left way late to sleep in our own beds! The next morning they got to canoe! Hiking - we had a goal of hiking each Saturday morning that was free this summer, and we succeeded twice! Once in town, and once just about an hour away. So fun to be in the ...
