We were down in Virginia this year for Thanksgiving and for the first time did a deep fried turkey – which was delicious! Doug was the man of the fryer. It only had to cook for 50 minutes, which is my kind of turkey.
Halloween!

Potty Training
Well, it’s been about 6 weeks, but I think we’ve finally got it down! Sophie is potty trained! There’s been a lot of conversations about the potty and all things related in our house. Here’s a shot of Dave ready “Once Upon a Potty” for what may be the 30th time.
Pumpkin Picking
This weekend we headed out to farm country to do some pumpkin picking with Claire and her family.
Haircut!
I gave Sophie her first big haircut right after school started again. It was getting really ratty and unruly, so decided to take matters into my own hands. I cut about 3 inches off the back, and some bangs, and have to say, it turned out pretty well (thank goodness!).
Dan and Maithili’s Wedding
We only had two weddings this year, and they happened about 3 weeks from each other. Dan & Maithili got married just outside of Philadelphia in a beautiful waterfront ceremony. I didn’t have my camera, so only have the pictures there were emailed to me. Once I get some of the actual ceremony (and bride & groom!), I’ll update this post.

New England Vacation
At the end of August we took a week and headed up to New England to stay on a boat and sail around, visiting a few different places. We started in Newport, sailed to the tip of Cape Cod to Cuttyhunk and then went to Martha’s Vineyard where we visited Edgartown and Vineyard Haven. It was an excellent vacation with perfect weather. Sophie got sea sick the first day and then was great for the rest of the week.
Summer Camp 2012
It’s hard to believe, but summer camp is already over. Sophie went to a day camp at her school, where she played with most of her regular friends and teachers. She’s now off for three weeks spending time with both sets of grandparents, with a sailing vacation in-between with mom & dad. Here’s a look at just a few of the things she did while at camp.
