Monocacy Aqueducts in Winter

We had a lot of fun with the Borsmas exploring the aqueduct.

We finished with a bang - ice cream at Rocky Point Creamery.

Christmas Eve

The excitement level is thru the roof; Anticipation and hopes are high!

Frankie's Flag Football

Frankie played flag football for the first time this fall season and really enjoyed it. His team, I believe, was undefeated - Go Titans!! It was a really special to watch him play and have as much fun as he did! We are very proud of him!

Date Night at the Autumn Auction

We had a sitter and got all dressed up. It was quite the auction with a lot of enticing baskets to bid on. However, I believe it was all too rich for our blood and we were out bit, which is not a bad thing at such an event. I had the sitter snap a couple of pictures before we left:

Halloween

We had a great time with all the VA Barvicks and Nana and Aunt Cups and Uncle Sean. We missed the Boersma Family and Grandpa! I am so glad this holiday is only once a year. It's pure torture for someone who is not dressup inclined, but happens to have 5 kids who love it. Happy Halloween!

Labor Day

We spent the afternoon at an apple orchard not far from our house, Distillery Lane Cider Works. We had a nice time outside with the kids and Matt and I had a nice tasting of their house brewed hard ciders. Winning.

Back to school

The kids are back at school. Agnes is a first grader at brookewood and Pete is a third grader and Frank a fifth grader at Avalon. Knock em dead, kids! And there were NO tears!!
