Oh, Christmas Tree!

We all spent the day at the Ticonderoga Farms to pick out this year's Christmas tree. And along the way, the boys had some fun here and there and all around...






...and finally our home was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Jacob's Cub Scouts

Jacob added the Cub Scouts to his many activities. As a six year old, Jacob starts out as a Tiger Cub, joining Pack 282, Den 10. "Doing his best" to earn his Bobcat Badge, Jakers will earn it by participating in many activities this year; such as sending "care packages" to the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, "Scouting for Food" donations during the holidays, sleeping overnight on the WWII USCG Cutter Taney, building and racing a pinewood derby race car, camping outdoors at Burke Lake, and learning to be a respectful, honest member of his family, pack, and country. That's our BOY!

Lake Anna Weekend

Ernesto's birthday weekend was celebrated at Lake Anna, Mineral, VA. A super weekend to share with family, friends, and Mother Nature...
Even in the midst of a chili October weather by the lake house, we still managed to go fishing on the dock and explored our surroundings by kayak and canoe, lovingly dubbed, the "Bedazzled." Staying warm around an open fire pit, we also roasted s'mores, barbecued our dinner, and smoked all the fishes we caught. The weekend was a blast!
