Visiting at Grammy and Bebop's new house!

We recently spent the day with Grammy at her (and Bebop's) beautiful new home in Aldie, VA and had a great time! Lily and Sophie just don't know what to do with themselves in this huge place- oh, well actually they do: they run around and around like very loud wild animals :)

Lily's favorite room; the kitchen!

Here is where all the crazy running takes place: in a loop created by the family room, kitchen, and two hallways. Sophie can't get enough of going up and down the steps to enter the family room!

Grammy giving Sophie her first piano lesson in the sun room(eg- making sure she doesn't fall off the piano bench)!

My little Beethoven's

This one reminds me of a picture in a calendar I once had with a bunch of kittens sitting on a piano bench, all looking in one direction!

Lily loves taking turns dancing to live piano music- first Grammy plays for Lily and then Lily plays for Grammy :)

In their new t-shirts brought back from Grammy and Bebop's recent trip to Italy- ciao bella's!

Bebop's home! Yeah!!!


Grammy and Bebop recognize the importance of Sophie learning their proper titles! Here is a video of Sophie's first of many lessons :)

At the mall with Grammy!

Here are a few pics of our recent trip to the mall to have lunch with grammy. The kids play area at Tyson's Mall is one of Lily and Sophie's favorite places and getting to go out to lunch with grammy was just icing on the cake!

My little tree climber!

There just happened to be a kid's show at the play area when we were there. Here Sophie is clapping happily along with the other kids, having no idea why the heck she is clapping :)

Lily being a bad influence on the kid behind her :)

Thankfully got at least a one good pic of grammy and miss obstinate!
