September to November catch up post :)

Batter up!  Hunter has gotten really good with his baseball skills!  He can hit them out of the park (aka over the fence) like it is his job! :)




Hunter's version of sliding in to home!! :)

I thought the day would never come when I would have my own classroom...and it is finally here!  Although it is small and I share it with a few other teachers (when I am collaborating), it is a place that I can call "home" and it makes me smile! :)

Hunter playing on my "smartboard"...kid knows even more about technology 
than his nerdy mother does!!




Hunter's first day at the "big boy school" (Battlefield Park Elementary School).  He is participating in a Reverse Inclusion Pre-K class there and he loves it!  It has taught him a lot, 
including valuable life lessons!!




Hunter and his teacher, "Miss Maxey"

Big boy getting off the school bus after his first day of school :)



Fall is here!! :)

Hunter celebrated his 4 1/2 birthday with Auntie and Scott at the Touch a Truck exhibit...loved it!!

No birthday celebration is complete without a cake...even if it is a 1/2 birthday!! :)  Thanks, Auntie!!








Mommy and Dadda went away to the mountains for a weekend with friends, Tina and Dan...visited several wineries and enjoyed a nice dinner out...the accommodations left something to be desired, but it is all about who you are with and we had a blast!! :)


The guys holding up our "postcard" for our "lovely" cabin where we stayed...


Dinner out - delicious! :)


Tina made a new friend while sitting around the campfire (unwillingly, I might add) :)




Breakfast at Cracker Barrel before we hit the vineyards!












Imagine how many corks that took...craft idea, maybe?  On a smaller scale, of course! :)




Perfect wine tasting spread! :)

Warming up with our electric fireplace! :)

If there is a dog within a mile, Will is going to find them and make friends with them...
everytime, without fail! :)

Playdate with Lucas while the mommies make cakes downstairs!

Zebra cake with pink accents for a sassy, special little girl...Kaki is one in a million and is one of Hunter's "big sisters" that is always looking out for him! :)

Showering Emily while she waits for Baby Cooper's arrival! :)

Mommy's KD reunion weekend with the girls at Longwood :)





Apparently, we made paper dolls of ourselves when we were pledging...pretty funny! :)


Looking back at old memories...


The corner where Will and I used to meet to walk to dinner together in the evenings.

The infamous fountain

All of the Alumni on our founder's bench...with our check to the 
Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation


My KD family (missing a few that couldn't make it and 
one that is looking down on us from the heavens above)

We'll just say that the current sisters are not "slumming it" at all!!



and they are not going thirsty either, apparently!!









Camera cake that I made for a coworker's son...little did I know that I would be getting
this very camera as a Christmas gift this year! :)



Celebrating PaPa's birthday with his favorite, a Boston Creme Pie! :)


Our handsome boy taking a little rest at Bass Pro Shops


COOOOOOLEY!!  Go Skins!



Playdate with Lucas :)



Optimus Prime at Halloween :)

Smooches for his Auntie




Asher is walking (or running, should I say) - he is growing up so fast and gets cuter by the day!

Foster and Hunter are zoned in on Diego's Halloween

Celebrating a special friend's birthday - with a special cake to 
honor her fabulous trip to London this past year!

Mama D, all smiles with her brownie cake :)

Baby Cooper enters the world and I had to get some snuggle time!  Congratulations to 
Emily, Kevin and Kaden Layne on their new addition!  He is perfect!!


Hunter helps with the prepping for our Thanksgiving cake!



Cake is done...and creates lots of smiles! :)



The family at Thanksgiving...Hunter's true personality showing through loud and clear...
Love it! :)

Our happy family of 3...so blessed!

Such a long walk to the stadium from our tailgate...HA!  
Awesome parking spot AND awesome seats...

Hokies rush the field after their WIN!!  Nail biting end,
but it ended great! :)
