soccer

These guys had pictures this last week. Mason's turned out really cute...Stanley was not quite as excited about his! :) haha. But Stanley seriously loves soccer - and has a good leftie kick. Love those boys of mine and I'm so proud of them.

Outer Bank with Friends

We had the best time in Outer Banks this year with our friends. We all have a couple of kids who all get along really well - so it worked out so well. We love these people and I seriously look up to all of them. These are people that have made Law School a dream. Hurricane Matthew postponed us by a couple of days, but we still made it happen :). Beautiful weather, amazing memories. Let's do it again, guys!

soaking in some rays..i feel you Mason, i feel you

Mason took to the waves well. boogie boarding was a blast

these french toast bagels...ya. i don't usually love bagels, but this was a good one

boys and rocks :)

waking up early to catch the sunrise. the morning breaks the shadows flee

haha. i love this picture that Jeni caught - running after my flying hat. it was windy guys.

seriously can't get over those two right there!! they definitely have my heart.

obsessed

after a little devotional where they acted out the resurrection of Lazarus (well done Christensen Family), they got to do a one song dance party

missing that time already

family comes to town!!

We have been begging our family to come to Charlottesville for the last 3 years now, so when my sister and her family came with my parents, we were elated. My parents have been in the past, so that has also been a huge treat. We traveled to Richmond, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Fort Monroe. From there they continued on toward the South, seeing sites along the way to Texas to visit my sister. I'm so glad they came to visit. We had a nice time together. I always feel renewed and strengthened after we're together. Missing them already.

helping me make some zucchini muffins in preparation for their arrival. they were both so excited

i love the children's sections of museums - they are always a life saver

Williamsburg

Stanley's love of all things horses

visiting the new military club where you can go rest your feet
