Our Neighborhood Winery

Living in Crozet, Virginia was a bit of an adjustment for me at first. I was used to living in a city and really have not ever lived in a larger city except when I was a child of 4 and 5 and my family lived on a farm in Livingston, Tennessee. Crozet is a very small town, but it is surrounded by beautiful mountains. There are also many local wineries close by including the one I call our "neighborhood winery" which is located one mile from our home. King Family Vineyard is beautiful and is very generous in sharing their amazing property with their guests. Each Wednesday they have a food truck come to the winery which allows their guest to enjoy after hours and the beautiful sunsets. We like going as a family and with friends. It is truly a treasure and something that I enjoy here in our small town.

Back to School 2017

The girls began the 7th and 5th grades today. It's hard to believe that these girls are both growing up so fast. I think every parent says this, especially at birthdays and on the first day of school. The beginning of the school year has gotten off to a wonderful start. Here's to a fantastic year!

Fourth of July 2017

With the girls at Camp Mimi/G-Daddy this week, Howie and I spent the Fourth of July for the first time alone in 12 years! We enjoyed our day going to wineries and an engagement party for friends. We missed the girls, but they had a fabulous time on the Emma-Caroline II watching the fireworks from the water.

Camp Mimi-G-Daddy!

The girls are headed on their first solo plane flight to Orlando to see their Mimi and G-Daddy. They will have a grand time sailing on the Emma-Caroline II, going to the Eau Galle Yacht Club and spending time at the beach front condo in Cocoa Beach. I can't wait to hear all about their travels when they return!

Sophie Turns 10!

Our little Sophie Rose is ten years old today! Sophie has been such a blessing to us since the moment she entered our lives. She has the most contagious laugh and is full of creativity. Sophie loves big and is kind to everyone lending a helping hand to both friends and strangers. Sophie loves dance and playing outdoors with her friends for hours and hours. We are so proud of our little "Rosie-Posie!"
