SNOW!

Happy Thanksgiving...

a few days late! Here are some pictures of our Tink enjoying the holiday with her cousins at Nana and Pop's house. Enjoy!

Joy riding in her truck!

Making a wish!

Our little paleantologist!

Now she willingly wears the hat and oinks!

Happy Halloween!

We went trick-or-treating with cousins Sophie and Lucy last night. All of our blond girlies looked adorable, got tons of candy, and were soaking wet! Here is Superman (girl) in action.

Winding Brook Farm...

Today we made our annual October pilgrimage to Winding Brook Farm. Ryan enjoyed picking out the perfect pumpkin, playing on the tree, and balancing on hay bales. Here are a few of our favorite pictures--enjoy!

Labor Day...

This past weekend we had a special visit from Cousin Allie and her friends Sara and Emily while on their way to and from New York City. Our Tink had a great time hamming it up for the girls and showing off her new big girl bed. Here are some pics of Tink and Allie "sleeping." Thanks for the visit and the delicious muffins Allie!

The big girl bed...

Tink's conversion to a real live big girl is one step closer to being complete with the arrival of her new big girl bed (thanks Nana and Pop for the great birthday present!). She even got her very own step stool so that she can climb into bed all by herself. Our brave girl slept through the first night without a hitch. We'll keep you posted how night two goes...

Upon her return to school from vacation, our Tink was crowned the queen of the ball. Here she is proudly wearing her crown!

We have a three year old on our hands...

On August 23rd it became official and two weeks later we are still having a hard time believing it--our Tink is three! We celebrated with a week long vacation in Ohio visiting Grandma and Papa. And then we hosted an under the sea mermaid pizza birthday party. Our girlie had a great time and got tons of toys, clothes, and books. Her favorites (so far) are her truck, doctor outfit, and train set.

Thanks to everyone for a great week and terrific third birthday!

"l'araignée"

Here is our little artist demonstrating her skills with a beautiful chalk rendering of a spider.

Fun in the sun...

This past weekend we went to the Corn and Blackberry Festival at Linvilla Orchards. Our girlie had a great time playing at the playground, getting her face painted (just in case you don't recognize her, she is purple, glitter Spiderman), getting a little peck on the finger by an over zealous chicken, dancing on the picnic table, and eating some delicious blackberries. Special thanks to Amy for scouting out the festival and being our official photographer--you can be our social planner any day!

Then on Sunday we went to Nana and Pop's house to spend some time in the pool and sprinkler with cousins Sophie and Lucy. A wet and wild time was had by our three little blondies!

Valley Green...

This weekend we spent a gorgeous afternoon hiking in Valley Green along the Forbidden Drive. Our girlie had a great time running after the joggers, watching some crazy kids jump off a bridge into the creek, and chucking rocks into the rapids.

Ryan break dancing...seriously.

Ryan's opera...

Last week, Tee-Tee came to visit and our girlie entertained her with some serious rhythmic poetry. Here she is demonstrating her skills. Yea...we have no clue where she picked this up?!

Our little bathing beauty!

The Williamson Family Vacation...

This year we went back to the Outer Banks for the annual Williamson family vacation. Our Tink had a great time playing with her cousins and splashing around in the pool. On the way back home we stopped in Colonial Williamsburg for a few days. Here are a few pictures from the trip--enjoy!

OPA!

We spent the long weekend enjoying a local Greek festival. Ryan had a great time eating french fries and ice cream, getting a Minnie Mouse face painting, bumping into her friends Elias and Ronan from school, bouncing around on the moonwalk and busting a move to some Greek music. Here are a couple of pictures of her entertaining the crowd:)

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Birthday Auntie Annie!

Lots of love, Princess Ryan

and Cousin Sophie
