Grace poses in the kitchen near Mt Vernon; she is happy to know that George had a pizza oven next to their fire place.

Brock's basketball banquet

Brock was picked as a Fairfax County Youth Basketball League All League Team Player. He was nominated by his coach and voted in by the coaches from all the teams we played this season. They had a nice breakfast for the boys on a Sunday morning. Brock was thrilled!

He had a great season and is now getting ready for a new season and a new team. Basketball has definitely become a big part of our Virginia lives!

Love,

Grace 9th B-day

Gracie had a small 9th B-Day party with the little girls from the neighborhood. She wanted a Mardi Gras theme this year.

Mary Beth got together with a very, kitchen savvy neighbor and made an attempt at a "topsy-turvy" fondant covered cake.

The cake was a lot of work, but the fondant was pretty easy to work with... Gracie loved her cake!

Yes- it is supposed to look tilted a little- that's the "topsy-turvy" part!

So they ate pizza, ate cake and ran around the house..... Then it was time to jump!
Lots of rope jumping the cul de sac wrapped up a good time for all!

Love,
