Grandpa and Grandma Visit

Last month, Grandma and Grandpa Herman came out to visit us.  They arrived on Friday afternoon, October 14th and left to go home Monday morning, October 17th.   We had a great time visiting with them and sightseeing in Washington, DC.  On Saturday morning, we headed to DC via metro.

Our first stop was the Pentagon Memorial.

After we visited the Memorial, we stopped for lunch.  Then, our next stop was the U.S. Capitol building.  My mom was very excited that we were able to take a tour inside the building.  Every time she comes to visit, she asks about taking a tour of the Capitol building.  I'm glad it finally worked out for us to go on the tour.

 On Sunday afternoon, we went to Lake Needwood.  My parents wanted to enjoy the Fall colors and I thought this would be a good location.  It was a beautiful Fall day, so I took that opportunity to take a few pictures of them with the munchkins.

We enjoyed our time together, even though it was just for the weekend.  

Buddy just asked me today, "When is grandma and grandpa coming back to visit?"  Hopefully they'll be able to make another trip out soon!

Family Pictures 2011

Last Saturday, Nov. 5th, our family went to Brookside Gardens for a photo shoot with our friend, InShil.

  We had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and amazing scenery.  The leaves were a little past their peak color, but still absolutely stunning.  Here are a few of the many, many pictures she took of us.  We are thankful for her friendship and talent!

We are so happy with the pictures she captured!  

I was so taken by the beauty of Brookside Gardens that I went back the next day to take a few more pictures of the trees.

Fall is by far my favorite time of year!  It is just so beautiful!
