Virginia Weekend

Eric, Hayden and I traveled to Virginia this past weekend. We flew out of Atlanta on Thursday morning and flew into Richmond where my sister picked us up. Eric and I drove to Charlottesville on Friday for my friend Micah's wedding and Hayden stayed with my mom and sister for the weekend. This was our first weekend where we were both away from Hayden. Even though it was hard to leave we really enjoyed the time together. We did some wine tastings on Friday before the rehearsal dinner and relaxed on Saturday before the wedding. The wedding was held at a winery and everything was so beautiful. We had lots of fun catching up with friends. Congrats Micah and Anna! On Sunday morning we drove back to Fredericksburg to spend the day with the family before we left on Monday. We went to a local pumpkin farm with the kids for a beautiful fall day. Here are photos from the weekend.....

Pumpkin Patch

Eric's entire family came to visit us in Montgomery this past Saturday. Eric and the guys went golfing in the morning and we all met for lunch afterwards. Eric's parents announced that they will be moving to Germany for a great job opportunity for his dad. They are leaving sometime in mid November so it was great to get to spend time with them. We are excited for them and can't wait to plan a trip to Europe to visit. We are sad we won't get to see them as much but very happy for them at the same time. After lunch we headed to a pumpkin patch about 30 minutes from us. It was the first cool day in Montgomery which was a nice change....although it started to rain while we were on the hayride. We still had a great time despite the weather. Here are a some photos....

Hayden's Trip to Raleigh

Hayden and I traveled to Raleigh last weekend for a visit with the girls. My best friends Meredith and Jessi both live there and decided to fly us out so they could spend some time with Hayden....and me too. My mom decided to drive down to help with Hayden so he was surrounded by women. She was happy to spend some time with him as it had been 4 months since she had last seen him. To make travel easier Jessi asked some of her mom friends for some baby gear. All I had to bring were the basics for Hayden and they had taken care of the rest. The only problem was everything turned out to be pink so Hayden was surrounded by girls and pink all weekend. We hope he can recover. :) Here are a couple photos.....
