Fall...

We missed Coach Leon, but Andrew continued to LOVE flag football this fall.

Might have a natural on our hands...

It was beyond exciting the Friday afternoon that Andrew and Margaret bounded off the bus inaudibly babbling about Student of the Week.  What are the odds of siblings being each of their teacher's pick the same week?  So fun that Principal Molinaro snapped a shot of their proud smiles.

Am I foolish for envisioning that this might last a lifetime?

The old bed was up on top of the ironing board for vacuuming....hadn't been thrown away yet just in case the new one didn't stick.  I think there's a book about this "cozy and comforting" bed...

 Matt LOVES visiting Mister Kit and "Joe" at church!  

He races straight to their office when we arrive.

The swing at Adventure Farm didn't break!

 Polo on a windy fall day....first time for the native Veliky clan!

Ready for all swimming...

The bright moment of rainy days....

 Girls' night painting fall nights.

VABA, here we come.

A River Runs Through It

Michael's childhood home in Lewisburg, WV---

the bright spot to a few hours at the Greenbrier for a conference.   

Beautiful home, stunning mountain view from the front yard, handsome young man.

Who says little boys are the ones with all of the energy!?!
