Catching up...again!

Hi from Charlottesville, VA! At the end of October we left Augusta, GA and headed for our new home in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. We got a great deal on a beautiful rental house!

HA! HA!

We have been taking in the sights....Here we are at the Michie Tavern about to enjoy authentic "Midday Fare".

We ended our first week with Trick or Treating on The Grounds at UVA. Notice Kathryn trying to swipe Evelyn's sucker.

A few vids

Here are some of the things that Kathryn has been working on lately.

She is definitely a pro at "baby sitting" and loves her new vantage point.

She really likes to swing. It makes her laugh.

Having an older sister has many advantages, not the least of which is cool toys! Evelyn let Kathryn play with her Chick-fil-a balloon.

Summer Fun

Here are some pictures from our Summer here in Augusta.

Over Labor Day weekend, Grandpa and Grandma Elaine came for a visit. Evelyn got to go to her first Baseball game while they were here! The went to see the Augusta Green Jackets.

Daddy and the girls.

The humidity really does a number on Evelyn's hair, so I am trying to perfect my french braiding technique as a way to tame her curls.

Visit from Grammie and Aunt Priscilla

Grammie and Aunt Priscilla came to visit us the weekend after we arrived in Augusta. So good to be closer to Birmingham!

Aunt Priscilla took a lot of great pictures and shared them with us. We seem to have lost our camera!

Kathryn in her swaddle that is almost too short!

Grammie and Evelyn enjoys some "mint chip". Yummy!

Evelyn poses in front of the fountain in downtown Aiken.

While Aunt Priscilla was here we had to do pedicures. Evelyn got her toes painted and got to wear Aunt Priscilla's flip flops.

Evelyn gets her fingernails painted.

All the girls!

Fourth of July

We spent Fourth of July in Atlanta with Paul's Uncle Glenn, Aunt Beth and Cousin Abby. Good fun and good food!

A few vids

Evelyn using her Riverdance skills.

Evelyn has a (mostly) funny habit of yelling at creatures and objects; trying to bend them to her will.

Kathryn is very ticklish and has the most adorable little chuckle.

Farewell to Dayton

After almost three years we said farewell to Dayton, OH and all of our dear friends there. Here are a few pictures from our last weeks there.

Our time in Ohio began with a freak wind storm and ended with a freak hail storm. Here is one of the hail stones that fell in our yard and hour or so after the storm (so it had melted down some). There was extensive damage to windows and cars in our neighborhood. Thankfully we were safe.

Evelyn catches up on some light reading.

Evelyn gets to hold one of Aunt Barby and Uncle Phil's new chicks.

Evelyn and Claire hold the Metzlers' kittens.
