Lately

Apparently blogging has fallen by the wayside as of late. Despite having only a kindergartner and a preschooler, it feels like our September has gotten insanely busy. Ah, well. We've had lots of good things happening lately, though.

Our whole family attended the second annual "Ride For Life" sponsored by The Family Foundation. John was working it, but the boys and I got to enjoy the speakers and watching the large number of motorcycles who had gathered to show support for the pro-life movement. The boys were crazy excited about seeing all the bikes, and Brennan enjoyed riding his own bike up and down as well.

Speaking of motorcycles...this past Saturday, John took Brennan to a University of Richmond football game. It was a Kids Club evening, so there were fun things for kids to do. A balloon artist was there, working his magic, and Brennan ended up with a balloon motorcycle that was left in the stadium after the artist had left. The boys have both had a great time playing with it!

We were blessed this weekend to also be on the receiving end of a fabulous swingset. Another family in our church had outgrown it and wanted to pass it along to someone with younger kids. We are all so crazy grateful for this gift, as well as for the help of a fellow church member to help us (read:  John) get it taken down, transported, and reassembled. It was nicknamed "Beast" when it was being moved. As you can see from the picture, it's pretty accurate!
