Brittany and Brooke...My little ladies!!

Ok, so maybe they are Deb's, but they are so sweet and they are getting so big.  Next month, they will be 2 years old!  This summer, they walked down the aisle as flower girls!  

Fall Festival

On Saturday we went to a little fall festival with the Parrott gals and had a great time!  We had sausage and corn on the cob; Wes was a happy guy!!  The corn maze was pretty cool and I don't think I had done one of those before!  Wes loved seeing all the pumpkins and playing in the hay!  It was  a great day and the weather was perfect!

The Eifel Zoo with Gram

We had lots of fun looking at the animals!!  Wes really liked the bunnies and the pigs.  There were lions and tigers and a bear, oh my!  Good thing he woke up, though...it took a few minutes to arise him from his nap!

Visiting Aunt Karen and Uncle Vern in VA! and Fanny!

On our recent jaunt to Virginia, we were able to meet up with Aunt Karen and Uncle Vern for a yummy spaghetti dinner and visit!  We are extra excited to move to Virginia because we have lots of family right there!   John's cousins also live in the area and we can't wait to be close to them!  I can't believe I didn't take pics of A. Karen or U. Verne, but she would probably say it's because I was too busy taking pics of Wes!!  I didn't even get pics of Mark and Amy's beautiful girls, Robin and Rachel!!  I do remember Amy taking some though!

Gram is Here!!

The grass was so long since John hadn't been home and we were away for our cruise!  Mom couldn't stand it and we didn't want John to have to spend 3 hours out there when he got back.  It stalled when I started (out of gas)...but just in time for our neighbor, Herman to come by and offer his John Deere!

Wes sitting in his swing eating an apple from our tree!

Wes brushed Morgan for a few secs...didn't get a good pic though.

Herman to the rescue!

Playdate to Virginia!!

Upon returning from our cruise, John left for Turkey for 3 weeks and Wes and I went to visit the Huzzards for a week!  We had so much fun and it was great to see everyone!!!  Mitchell and Wes picked right up where they left off, although sharing a love for the same toys was tough at times!!  Mitch would come in and say "hi Wes!".  It was great!!!  Jacob is growing and sweet as ever!!  

Our Med Cruise

We spent 2 nights in Rome prior to meeting our friends Amy/Ryan from California and Kristen/Jed from Germany!!  Wonderful times!!!

Our favorite was Santorini!!

My least favorite was walking down from Santorini.  Dodging donkey poo and slipping every 4-5 steps.  

John and Ryan being stupid Americans.

Wes living it up in Turkey.

The boys in Athens.

Wine tasting in Santorini!!

The above and below are Mykonos.

The above and below are in Oia, Santorini...most beautiful!!

 

At least 10 times during our trip, other people were taking Wes' picture!  This woman actually told John to get out of her way while she took his pic!  Is that normal?

Yummy pasta at the pool deck!

Super Paradise Beach in Mykonos...clothing optional.  John and Jed took a walk down the beach with Wes while Kristen and I rested on our lounge chairs.  They were back within 5 mins since the nude gay beach began shortly after their walk began!!!  

Wes throwing money into the Trevi Fountain!!

John dangled Wes into the water until the guards whistled at him to STOP!!

Inside the Coliseum...so amazing!!

Wes crawling over the grate that leads to the buried Popes...some took his picture and some looked in horror!
