Daddy's Turn To Travel

Night Night Daddy - We Love You

So Brad left this morning on a tour of Virginia with his Sales Manager (who lives in Boston and flew in for the week). He started in Richmond this morning, is in the Dulles area tonight, was planning on heading to Roanoke in the morning, back through Richmond and then onto Virginia Beach on Thursday..some of his plans have changed a bit, but he is still basically seeing the entire state in 4 days.

"Cheese Face"

I just thought this photo was funny since its Avery sitting in Olivia's chair...it just looks funny.

The girls and I miss him terribly, we are so sick of how busy our lives are, and how we are never all in the same place. Its amazing how well the girls deal with being bounced around so much, maybe its good for them to learn to just roll with it, but I pride myself on family dinners and family bedtimes, and we haven't had much of those in the last few months. I feel like starting in August, before our beach trip we said "I can't wait for September to be over", and now we are saying "I can't wait for October to be over" because our weeks are just so crazy. When will it stop? Jeesh. On a positive note, we are so very thankful to have great jobs that challenge us and keep a roof over our heads, so we shouldn't complain, but everyone needs a break now and then right? Help a sista and brotha out, will ya?

Lord help us

Teacher Olivia - reading Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse to her "students"

Teenage Olivia

The girls have a busy week at school between the Fall Carnival and their Halloween Parade on Friday, lots of fun outfits to wear, so lets hope I don't flop and forget to take photos. Olivia has a Dentist appointment tomorrow morning and for those of you that remember last September when she had to have two root canals...the Dentist is a little stressful for everyone involved, it will also make for a very hectic morning trying to get Avery to school and Olivia to Dr. W on time...fingers crossed everything goes smoothly and she gets a great report at the Dentist. Needless to say, we are looking forward to the weekend. Friday night we plan to carve Jack (Jack-o-Lantern) and just hang out, and Saturday Brad will spend the day in Williamsburg at a Mountain Bike Race while the girls and I hang out here, and Sunday is the big dance, the day Olivia has been looking forward to for what feels like months...finally "Halloween Day" (as she calls it)

Lots of love, can't you tell?
