Message Recieved.

It's always amazing to me how timely God can be in sending encouragement. This is what I got from Him earlier this week.

Fall Family Frolic!!!

This is for Jamila!!

Hi there folks. Last weekend we celebrated Tio Alex's birthday. Yummy lunch was had at Lebanese Taverna followed by a stroll through the National Arboretum. It was such a beautiful day.

In addition to Alex, HD's brother from Cali, we were also fortunate to be celebrating with my father-in-law, who recently took a job in Chicago. Zealand, although she hadn't seen Alex in awhile nor her Abuelo, took to them like white on rice. When first got through the door of the house she couldn't stop hugging her Abuelito. She just knew the two of them were here just for her.

She LOVES holding hands. Now that she's getting older it's becoming easier to soother her with hand holding. Here she is with her entourage.


Those Abuelitos can't get enough of her.


Here's our official new Coutsoumpos family photo.


The fall foliage was something to behold!!!


Running away!



Getting love from the birthday Uncle!

I can't get enough of this amazing weather. I wish it would last forever.

Apple Princesses!!!!

We had the pleasure of having the Musgrave family come for a visit a couple weeks back. We had a blast!! On the Thursday of their visit, while Sydney and her dad went on a date, the mommies took the babies to pick apples.



We also picked raspberries (berry field pictured above.)

Well, what do you get when a one year old and almost one year old go picking? Lot's of baby bites in apples. (Baby Bites, a possible name for our future business.)


They were expert apple tasters. And we enede up with more than a few apples that had little nibbles taken out of them. But these ladies were generous in their apple eating.

They enjoyed riding together, although it was short lived.

It ended when Zealand stood up and tipped the wheel barrow over and the two of them fell out. We ended up picking about 115 lbs of apples, I was just a little over enthusiastic about picking apples. Stay tuned to read about how the Happy Homemakers Had a Ball!
