This Spring has brought many sweet reunions. Above are a couple pics from our rustic cabin weekend on the Appalachian Trail with Matthew & Kerry, her sister Erin & Tom, Daniel, Peter, and Beth. It was a perfect getaway, complete with no electricity, cell phone signals, nor running water (aside from the nearby stream). However, I have never eaten SO well. Pretty amazing doughnuts and apple pie, and veggie/meat foil wrap-thingys.
For Spring Break, we spent a few days in DC and stayed with Mom and Dad. It was so fun to do the touristy stuff with the boys. Ethan rode the Metro for the first time. We were right on time for the Cherry Blossom Festival and visited the Natural History Museum.
Also got to check-out the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum at Dulles - the boys loved this and even got to do a short pilot simulation.
We had a wonderful day on Sunday of Spring Break visiting our former church, Alexandria Presbyterian and seeing many dear friends. We got to have lunch with Justin and Jacquie Prather, their two girls (Nora and Camille) and Tim Petrie. Later, we visited with Brett and Krista Miller and their two girls (Karina and newborn, Keira). Then in the evening we had dinner with Seth and Jess Blanchard and got to visit their sweet new home. What a day!! It was delightful to see SO many great friends in one day.
Then we returned home and got to prepare our garden and do some mulch slinging! Thank you Spencer, for letting us borrow the truck!!!
This felt like a homecoming picture...thank you for snapping it, Mom! We had the opportunity to attend Jenna Walton and Adam Hood's beautiful wedding! It was a blast to see many dear friends from years ago.

My sweet boys on Easter Sunday!
We all enjoyed attending the City Parrish picnic, not to mention the Easter egg hunt, and kickball game (adults vs. kiddos).
Here is Noah on Kindergarten Open House Day.Do you think he's excited about starting big-kid school next year?
This past Thursday evening, Sara Daniel watched the boys so we could head over the mountain to visit our Alma Mater for a very special reason. Dan Flynn, the campus director of Campus Crusade at JMU was giving his last graduation talk in that role. It was a treat to see him, his family, and so many alumni that were able to make it.
Yesterday, a friend that I have known since elementary school came through town! Lindsay, I loved getting some time with you!
Finally, just today, we got to meet the man that Annmarie will soon wed - Josh Rinehults! And yes, they do make a perfect couple. Congratulations you two!!! Can't wait for September!!!
