Renaisance Fest, T-Storms, Dentist and Parade...

Abby's been taking swim lessons and is doing so well in the pool! Margaret got to go to Williamsburg with Bubby and Grandfather for her 10th birthday present, so while she was gone, we enjoyed a local Renaissance Festival fundraiser and the annual Culpeper Fireman's Parade.

Not a big fan of the firetruck sirens in the parade. Ran out to give Ronald a hug though.

Face painted and enjoying hot dogs, popcorn and pickles at the Ren. fest.

Being "knighted" by Sir Blackstone. She keeps asking, "Am I still a knight?"

Our knight in shining armor...

Abby really enjoyed the "ratapult" game...flinging mice through the air into a rat's mouth!

Abby's first dentist appt! She did great.

Thunderstorms at night make bedtime difficult... Abby's solution? Earphones! It works like a charm and she sleeps peacefully with them all through the night! What a character...

We got our pictures taken as part of "The Littlest Heroes Project." Photographers donate their time to families with children who have a serious health condition. We had great weather and it was lots of fun getting all dressed up! The photographer was great and even shy Abby enjoyed posing and hamming it up for the camera! These are a few sneak peaks... the others are still being edited. Thank you Dorie for volunteering your services to capture our family. Patrick and I enjoyed seeing the kids "dolled up" and getting along. It was a great family day!
