Chloe's first belt

Chloe tested Wednesday night and did so well. She hung on the rope for 20 seconds and knew her hand techniques and broke a board with the hammer fist! Hay- YAA!!!!

Her belt ceremony was today. 2 hours later she has her white belt.

Chloe's Butterfly

Chloe's class put on a "creative movement" dance of a butterfly. I tried to upload the video but it was too big.

Chelsea's artwork

I love Chelsea's artwork. This one looks like Strawberry Shortcake.

First Snow

Ok, so this was last week and I'm behind on my posts. I wonder if this is just the begininning of a very cold winter.

Christmas Tree 2009

Part of feeling festive every year we hunt for a real Christmas tree at Meadow Farms Nursery. There's always a bonfire, hot chocolate and fun searching for the right tree.

Prepping for Halloween

Decorations are up and costumes are ready. Can't wait!

A Trip to Cville

Its always fun for the girls. Swimming, seeing animals, and spending time with Winnie, Ace and the guinea pigs! Here are pics of the mountain we visited along with a homestead and got to experience what it was like for people to live 100 years ago.

Dog Days of Summer

Surviving the heat by cooling down at the pool and enjoying fudgeciscals!

Great times at VA Beach

The week went by way too fast.

SWAMPED

So swamped with work and packing for the beach, no time to post!

Rose Garden at Bon Air Park

We visited the Bon Air Park to play and check out the rose garden. Afterwards we played in the mini pool at home and had water wars. Now I need to gear up and have a second round of coffee so I get some work done while they are having "quiet time."
