Trip to VA!

Samuel and I had a great trip to VA to visit friends. As always, Dolly was an exceptional hostess spoiling us with lots of yummy food. Our dear friend, Michelle, from our DC days met up with us so we could spend some time together and let our boys play. It was like no time had past at all - so glad we made new memories together. We also visited Teecy's classroom and had lunch with her kids. It was so fun. She is an exceptional teacher - those kids are blessed for sure!

Here Samuel and Elijah enjoy breakfast together. So neat our boys are only 5 days apart!

Here they are sharing a snack together. What sweet boys!


This adorable little guy made his papa proud by supporting the home team favorite. Michael was right there playing with big boys - such a cutie! Leland was kind enough to "monitor sit" while the mom's had a little night out.


Before we left, Leland gave all the boys a ride up to the moose to feel his fur. They loved it!


We visited Liberty and the new ski lodge - it was so neat. We got a little silly and slap happy from staying up too late talking every night! Dolly and Michelle did great animal impressions. I did one too, but it's on Dolly's camera.
Next we headed to Starbucks and asked some college kids to take our picture. She literally handed me back my camera and asked it this picture was okay (above)...what?



Much better....
The boys had fun looking out for Dolly's beloved cat....
It was a great couple of days with great friends. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess, Dolly! And, thank you for driving down to meet us, Michelle!
