Me and Maddie

 

Since I am always the one taking the pictures, it is rare I am actually in one. Emily took this one of me and Maddie at Kari's wedding, so I thought I'd share it.

A trip to Culpeper

 

 

 

 

Tim was working in Culpeper this week, and was off on Wednesday, so he came home on Tuesday night. We rode back with him Wednesday night, and I took the kids sightseeing and shopping while he worked. My plan was to take the to the Smithsonian (American History) on Thursday, until I realized it was Veteran's Day, so we went to the Washington DC Temple, Potomac Mills and IKEA instead. IKEA is the coolest store ever!! We made it to the Smithsonian on Friday, and then back to IKEA for some other things!!!

They say

the difference between a good picture and a great picture is 1,000 shots (or was it 5,000 shots???) ....and so I keep trying.......

Today was a great day....

 

 

 

 

....my favorite sister Kari was married to a great guy named Adam. (I can say that, because she is my only sister, and I dearly love both my brothers) The kids had a fun time running around playing before the wedding, and we all enjoyed the meal after the wedding. I, of course, tried to get some cute shots of the kids.....the more I practice, the better I'll get, right????

Honor Society

Today Maddie was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society of Salem High School, we are so proud of her. She is doing a remarkable job in High School this year!
