MOPS convention 2013

In October, I was able to go to Kansas City to the MOPS convention.  It was a great time!  I got to know the other moms that I went with and heard some great speakers.  Here are some of my friends.

I was able to have some time to myself in the morning - which rarely happens these days and I met a bunch of characters like the strange one below.

Great barbeque restaurant!

Nate did great while I was gone but there was a lot of laundry.



Fall Sports...

We had a very busy season with Fall Sports.  Rita played soccer, Grace played volleyball (she is in the pink knee pads) and Sam played tee ball.

 

Don't Ask, Don't Tell (Vol 39)

"Excuse me ma'am"

Me:  Yes?

"Your baby has a sucker in her hair"

Me:  Yes, I know.  I am waiting until I get home to get it out.

 

September 2013

Kids back at school and I am home with Clara and Ellen during the days.

They love to play in our front yard any chance we get.

 Typical scene in my kitchen

 On her new Chatterbox phone with her NEW outfit from Mrs. Hall!

 In September, my college roommate came to town overnight.  I loved getting to see her for a bit.  Christy and I have some great, great memories and history together.  She is such a caring, interested and fun friend. 

Skins V Lions!

We have some new neighbors (with children!!) that are great.  I am so thankful for them in our neighborhood.  They are super thoughtful and generous and they asked Nate to come to a Redskins game with Matt!  It wasn't just a Skins game, it was a Skins versus Lions game!!  They are from Michigan like Nate so they all routed for the Lions.  Nate took a lot of photos of everything that their suite had from food to the amazing view!

 

Food everywhere!

Great seats!

If you read my blog and you are local, you will probably crack up at this like I did.  Nate took a photo of the Merrifield Garden Center suite.  That is hilarious that they have a suite in the stadium!

Redskins plates (I really, really appreciated these photos and details!)
