Okay, so these aren't necessarily in the right order, but I will explain them as they come...
Last week we went to Jenna Bryant's 23rd birthday celebration - the theme was "dress up like you would've as a five-year-old at Halloween." Obviously, I never dressed up for Halloween, so this is what we got. We jointly won the most creative costume award even though all the credit goes to the seamstress, Miss Abigail.

In the summer we took care of Elliot and Vincent, so we took them down to Fridays on the Square - they are quite the power walkers!! This is us listening to the impressive orchestra

More recently, a few weeks ago actually, we took off for Skyline Drive with Flat Stanley. Abigail packed a lunch and we headed off. We got there before sunset and looked for a place to sit and watch it. Evidently most of the clearings are at the overlooks, so we settled in with a blanket and a stone wall and ate our Chinese food (smoked lo mein, curry chicken, and general tso's). We also enjoyed a photo op with Flat Stanley who mysteriously showed up in Peace House mail with a note to take a picture with it and send it on!! It turned out to be a beautiful sunset, but rather cold - good for snuggling!

On October 17th Abigail and I dressed to the nines to grace the Avett Brothers show at the Charlottesville Pavilion. We started with the theme "hipster" and from there we ended up at Goodwill. And this is how we went to the show!! Awesome show, by the way.
