Zipped through Summer and now it's Fall

I have an awesome husband who even remembers to buy me flowers and the cutest boys. What more could I ask for?

Billy is doing his 2nd set of ice skating lessons and is really rockin' it!


Luke and Billy's reaction to getting a sibling at the end of May/beginning of June.


Many of you know that the difficult births of my boys has led me down a path and towards a passion 5 years ago I never could have imagined I'd have. On Saturday the whole family participated in a fundraiser that will hopefully lead to recognizing and licensing Certified Professional Midwives in North Carolina, which in turn will give pregnant women more options for maternity care.


Hundreds of people turned out to join in the Walk for Moms and Midwives. (I'm standing at the front of the line that curves around and couldn't even capture all the way to the back of the line).


Billy and his friends are giving this walk 110%. Cute.


Bugfest- A sand creation of bugs in a hot tub.


Billy holding a baby (born a few hours ago) honeybee. When bees first break through the hive cappings, they aren't able to sting.


Can you guess what he's doing? He decided to peel his orange with his eyes closed so they don't get stung from the juice!


There is a reason they give you those ponchos....


Niagra Falls! (Canadian side, of course!)


Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa after a fun week long trip to Toronto.


Billy loved having a dozen people ready and willing to wrestle with him.


Luke is trying very hard to save Uncle David. The boys often talk about how much they miss family so I know they love the visits when they get them!
