Afternoon in the park.

Roc and I took a little break in Liberty Park on our way home from school today.  We are loving the cooler fall weather!

My little bike mechanic :)

Overalls!

It has finally cooled off here- our high today is only 58 deg!- which means Roc gets to wear overalls!  

He has had a busy couple of weeks.  Granny came to visit for 8 days, he got 4 new teeth (6 total now), and was home from daycare for 5 days with a cold.   He also now pulls himself up to standing  and can walk across the living room while holding onto a push toy independently.  He is super fun!  And exhausting.... :)

Friends

We are trying really hard to make these two BFF's!  Michelle's daughter, Ilo, was *almost* born on Roc's 6 month birthday (she missed it by 8 minutes).  We love playdates with these two!

Grandad Time

His visit was short but sweet.  Can't wait to see you at Christmas!

Roc LOVES walking around, especially in the park!

8 months!

We are only 9 days late in posting this!

Roc is crawling, pulling to stand, drooling (almost as much as his Saint), and eating a ton of solid foods (carbs are his fav).  He has his lower 2 front teeth and a sweet reverse mullet.  We are hoping the hair on the back of his head starts to re-grow soon.

Grandad visits!

We just love him so much!  More photos (from our 'good' camera) to come!

Adrien and Rafa get married!

Last weekend we flew back to Charlottesville, VA to celebrate Adrien and Rafa's wedding.  It was an AMAZING weekend filled with good friends, laughter, sunshine and celebrations!

Roc keeping a close eye on the snack lady.

Bring on the party!

EARLY (aka 5 am) smiles.

Abby and I were bridesmaids, so we spent the morning of the wedding getting beautiful and spending time with the bride.  

Roc was allowed into the ladies party for meals.

Roc spent the rest of his morning/ early afternoon of the wedding day with the boys.  His day consisted of........

........mohawks..........

.......Beer tasting......

.....and swimming.

Adrien was the most beautiful bride!  (And Rafa was mighty handsome....)

There were many photos taken.

My boys were SUPER handsome!

The Rideouts cleaned up nicely.

The food was unbelievably good!

(2 lobster tails for the non-meat eaters...)

I went into a sugar coma from all the desserts.

We reunited with childhood friends.

There was lots of crazy dancing......or dancing with crazies....

And Roc slept through it all.  (Thanks for providing babysitting during your reception Adrien and Rafa!)
