Nanny visits!!

A few weeks ago my mom came to visit us for a long weekend!!! We had some really really terrible weather but we didn't let that stop us! We talked, ate, talked, had wine, talked, and did a whole bunch of exploring! I can't wait for Thanksgiving when she comes back for an entire week! We have a bunch of adventures planned! 

The kids were sooooooooo excited to see Nanny! They acted like nuts and never left her side! 

Her first full day we braved the rain and explored Mount Vernon. 

The next day we decided to head to Annapolis since it is my favorite city on the planet. The sailboat show was going on which I'm sure is cool but it made everything crowded and blocked the gorgeous bay views. We are already planning on going back during Thanksgiving! 

After lunch and some shopping we loaded up and headed to Delaware but that deserves a post of it's own! 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Everyday life and Bryan's birthday

So much fun has been happening around here! We are getting settled and loving exploring our new area! Last weekend was Bryan's birthday. His aunt and uncle were in town and we had the best time! I can't explain how happy it made us to have a little piece of home here in Maryland! They spoiled my kids rotten and we were all sad time went by so fast! On Bryan's birthday we went to Annapolis and had crab cakes and ice cream on the Chesapeake Bay. We also shopped and walked around taking in the gorgeous weather and views! I only took two pictures and I'm kicking myself for not taking more! But I also included some other pics of our everyday life!

Someone got into the markers..

Trying on their costumes! 

Could this view be any better?

Halloween jams!

Following a horse and buggy to the grocery store has become somewhat normal to me now.

My crazies :) 

Picnic at the park after school!
