decisions... decisions... :)

a strawberry, a cat, a drunk old man/Benjamin Button or a ladybug???
seriously though... is it scary that Mailee resembles Benjamin Button or a drunk old man in the picture of us hiking with Scott (her godfater)?
We couldn't stop laughing at it!!

Is the cheerleader outfit bad luck?

Kitty, Jeff and Gracie brought Mailee her first Hokie cheerleader outfit from Virginia when the came to visit. It is adorable... but I'm worried that it was bad luck. The day she wore it the Hokies lost to Ga. Tech. Oh well, at least she was cute in her orange and maroon. (And since Ashely's husband is a GT coach at least i'm happy for them) :)
I have to post a picture of Sahara too... it's old.. but between the two shots of her and Mailee.. i think they portray how upset we are when the hokies have an off game and lose. :(

Pumpkin Patch

Mailee's first trip to the pumpkin patch was so exciting! Just like the tulips in the spring, she was mesmerized by all of the pumpkins. It was adorable... but it also meant that I couldn't get my perfect picture of her actually looking at the camera... why would she want to when there were so many pumpkins to examine, touch and explore.

Vancouver

John and I have been wanting to getaway to Vancouver since we moved here and we finally got a chance to go since John had a long weekend. In two days we were able to visit the most popular attractions (Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown, Robson St. Chinatown etc.). Mailee enjoyed all of it but when we got home she had her first fever... 103.7 YIKES! She's all better now though!

The Harpers Visit!!!

Kitty and Jeff braved a cross country flight with Gracie (14 months) to visit us! We felt honored and enjoyed every last second of their visit. It was so amusing to see the girls together and to dress them up in coordinating outfits daily! We realized we had a problem when we almost dressed a like ourselves. :)
We had outings to La Conner, San Juan Island and to Seattle. The boys spent a day fishing and us girls couldn't have been happier just hanging out, lunching, sipping wine and reminiscing. We already miss them so much!
