Farmer's Market and a Tea Party!

This past weekend we took a trip downtown to explore Richmond's 17th Street Farmer's Market. We made a few purchases including cantaloupe, tomatoes, and peaches. Addison even got a bracelet made by one of the vendors we met there (who happened to be from Arkansas!!). Here are a few pictures...

Other weekend events included a tea party...as you can see Addison, gorilla, and bunny were all in attendance. Gorilla came appropriately dressed in his summer attire, a Little Swimmer diaper :)

Updates, Updates, Updates!!

I must admit that it has been way too long since I have updated our blog. It is amazing how much time has passed and how much has happened since the last posting. In the past 6 months we have sold our house, packed up our house, moved 1000 away from home, found out we are expecting baby #2, Matthew finished residency, Matthew started fellowship training here in Virginia, and now we are here in Richmond, Virginia trying to settle into life in a new town...other than that, not too much has been going on!! :)

Addison is doing great and will turn 2 at the end of this month...2 years old??!! She is getting so big and talking so much. She is constantly on the move, so I cherish the moments when she crawls up into my lap to snuggle. I enjoy all her little sayings...especially, "Der's (there's) a baby in ner (there)??" as she points to my tummy. She is precious and makes us laugh a lot.

Matthew finished residency!!! Yeah!!! He is doing one more year of fellowship training here in Richmond, Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University/the McGuire Veterans Hospital. He is already one week into it and really excited about what he is going to get to be doing.

Baby #2 is on the way!! I am 16 weeks and feeling great. We are due December 25th...Merry Christmas! We are so excited about our growing family. Our most recent ultrasound revealed that it is either a boy or a girl...basically it was too early to tell :)

Here are a few recent pictures...
