A busy October
Fall has come to DC quite suddenly this past week, bringing falling temperatures and filled calendars. As seen in the most recent batch of photos added to Lily’s album, Steph’s parents were in town last weekend. We all went out to Chantilly to visit the Cox Farms Fall Festival, a huge event with music, hayrides, farm animals, and a pumpkin patch. Everyone (including Lily!) had a blast and we were able to take some great photos.
Birthdays! There’s something about this time of year – in September, well-wishes went out to Steph’s dad, our friends Luke and Amy, Rob, Brenden, and Uncle Paul! In October we’re celebrating with Noel, Colleen, Stephanie, and my Grandma (on mom’s side)! It’s for this last birthday that we’ll be traveling up to Syracuse this weekend – Grandma is turning 90, so much of the family is gathering up there for a weekend of fun. We’re really looking forward to it, but hope that Lily deals well with the road trip.
Next weekend, it’s time for our annual outing to the International Gold Cup Races. It’s always a fun afternoon, but no babies for our group – so anyone want to babysit?
After that, we’re on our way to W&M’s Homecoming – I’m in complete denial that it’s my 10th. Should be another fun weekend, though, and we look forward to showing Lily off. Put in your orders for bread ends and house now.
And of course there’s Halloween at the end of the month, and Steph already bought Lily her costume. Oh yes, there will be photos.
