That's the very simple version, but gets you to where we are now. 

It's been a wonderful year. We love our growing family.

Mount Vernon

This past week we took a last minute trip to visit Abbie and Stephen for a long Memorial Day weekend. We got to be with them for almost 4 days and had such a nice time. One of the most refreshing few days in a long time. 

One of the days we decided to visit Mount Vernon. We lived in Maryland for a year in 2004 and did a lot of the D.C. touristy things, but never Mt. Vernon. My parents both went as kids and wanted to go back so we all went. Honestly one of my favorite historic things we've done. It was amazing. And prompted so much fun conversation about history and life. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. 

Also, so much thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Bossom, Stephen's parents who let us stay at their house while they're away in California. When they heard we were coming they eagerly opened up there home and stocked the fridge with fruit and an abundance of Klondike bars which didn't go to waste. 

Hope you've all had a nice week!
