We got a new camera. The kids are not amused.

Butlers Orchard

I have found that I just can't be a regular blogger. I try, but then the weeks get away from me. I do however, like to use this blog as a sort of diary or chronicle of our adventures. And this one I definitely don't want to forget because it was one of those days where Ian, Emma, and I just happened to all be in a good mood, despite the rain. This does not happen that frequently. So we headed to Butler's Orchard one rainy day back in October...or November. I can't remember now! We had the entire place to ourselves. We picked apples, raspberries, flowers, and pumpkins. We also ran through the fields and just enjoyed being outside.

Life in DC

Life these days with two is slowly but surely becoming manageable. We have found somewhat of a rhythm to life. Ian and Tim spend Saturday's together...running errands, going to the driving range, doing house work, and hitting up H Street while Emma and I clean, walk Pippin, and play!

Bay Creek

Once back from the wedding in September we took to getting back into a routine. Well, not really. We went to Bay Creek! I think this was our last vacation of the Fall....nope I am wrong. We met our friends Ted and Amy and their son Jackson along with our friends Jeff and Jill and their triplets (yes, I said triplets!!!) at Bay Creek, Virginia. It is this excellent resort on the most southern tip of Virginia, on the bay. It was a great vacation. We rented golf carts and ditched our cars for the entire weekend. Ian got quite used to being able to pull over the golf cart and use the bathroom. On Saturday we took a train ride through town, a very SLOW train ride, while eating crab cakes. We even hired a babysitter for an entire day and night so us adults could relax and go out to eat. This was also a major trip because it was Ian's first round of golf! Well, first three holes of golf on a real golf course. Overall I think he did pretty well and most importantly was quiet and followed golf etiquette. We found out many things on this trip. First, Emma loves dolls and second, we love being outside of DC! I am pretty sure I found myself saying over and over again while at Bay Creek, "Yep, I could live here."
