It's October?!?

Lunching at The Grove in LA with my mom.

Sibs in LA.

We had the best time celebrating the Gregory's 50th wedding anniversary this past weekend. What an amazing couple and family. Thank you for including us!

One of my nearest and dearest :-)

Our little Luna girl.

Hard at work on the porch swing project.

First day of school!

LOTS of lizard hunting went on in Orlando. This was one of Grady's conquests.

Our traditional picture spot at Epcot.

Yeah...that's a giraffe...right outside of our room!

Bug Eyes on for the 3D show!

A chat with Betty Boop at Islands of Adventure.

All aboard the Hogwart's Express!

Just hanging with Harry and his friends at Hogwart's!

Conner and his counselors at SB2W.


Wow! How time flies when you are having fun! We've been back in the 'Burgh for 3 months now and it has been go go go. After a great summer at SB2W (despite a blue flag flying at the close of 4th term) and an amazing family getaway to both Universal Studios and Disney, school is in full swing and the boys are doing great. We are all loving being close to family and old friends - though our Eastern PA friends are missed - and are taking advantage of the close proximity.

Both Grady and Conner are doing scouts this year. Conner is playing soccer and the violin, and is involved with our church's youth group, while Grady is preparing for the wrestling season now that baseball has wrapped up. I'm very busy carting them around to all of their practices and meetings in addition to tending to the new addition. Everyone - I mean EVERYONE - loves Luna. We get stopped wherever we go and people just oogle over her. She looks like a teddy bear and has the sweetest disposition. We really lucked out...or maybe she did...I think she's a keeper.

Shawn is traveling a ton, still, but it works for us. I don't know anyone who works harder at everything they do...we love him so much and are so thankful for him. We will have the chance to get a few days together later this month in NYC - much needed and much anticipated. I love New York in the fall and it'll be even better since it will be just the two of us.
