Baby Boy 20 Weeks!

It's a BOY!

Sweet, baby Driver is a he! We're so excited, and we're thrilled that he's thriving in my belly! He's healthy and doing well in all areas and is very active! I can't wait to meet him and see his precious face.

18 Weeks

I think I've "popped!"

Visiting Matt and Em

We had such a lovely visit with Em and Matt at their house in Falls Church, VA. We went to Mount Vernon, ate Matt's homemade pizza (yum!), went out for Chinese food, visited Em and Matt's Church, and played a bunch of fun games we had never heard of (we've since bought one of them ourselves!). It was a great finish to our trip. We drove along the Blue Ridge Trail for a little bit on our way home and made it to Helena in one day! Overall, we had a wonderful time!

Road Trip Part 2

We spent our anniversary at Monticello. It was SO beautiful. It was planned out very well and the three tours included with our tickets were fantastic. The gardens were amazing and the inside of the house (no pics allowed) was really interesting. We had a wonderful day! We ate dinner that night at a French bistro in downtown Charlottesville. The streets are pedestrian only so all the tables are outside. THen we got dessert crepes from a little crepe stand! It was my first bought crepe since Paris 6 years ago! Our bed and breakfast experience put our hotels to shame. It was like staying at a friend's house. I slept so much better and the breakfast was very yummy. B&B's are the way to go! Overall, this was our best anniversary yet! Now we're going on 5 years! Wow! Next year we'll need a babysitter...any takers? ;)
