Holy forgotten blog, Batman!

Are you telling me I haven't posted anything since early October? Sorry family & friends who actually still check in on us. Let's see...

October was good. We pumpkin carved.

And trick-or-treated with our Dubnansky friends in Chesapeake.

You might recognize Batman and Batgirl (me). Joe went as Nightwing...for those of you who aren't blessed with comic book fans in your house, Robin leaves Batman and becomes Nightwing.

We stayed up so late and had so much sugar, that waking up the next morning was not happening.

We also met Kyle at The VA Living Museum. Lots of fun and room to run.




Then it was off to New England for Thanksgiving. We visited Jenn & Rish in their new house. Here are the cousins...look at Priya eating her cookie and the tiny pot belly. SO CUTE!

Joe, Jenn & Rishi

We stayed at the Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster. I lived in Brewster from age 1 until age 11. Whenever we would drive by, I was awed at how fancy the place looked, like a castle on the water. Never thought I'd step foot in it. Thank you off-season rates, and being in a position to afford things we never could growing up. I suppose I should thank my hard-working husband too. Grammy & Robin at the hotel.

Walking to the beach.




Thanksgiving dinner is at Aunt Becky's. Sure I loved the food and desserts, but the feeling of being around family and having fun was worth the trip. Here is my brother and my hubby.

The getting-ready socializing scene

The tablescape, complete with homemade cookies on each plate.
Probably the 1st time this year Robin in a white button down.

The desserts. Not sure if I can remember each one, but I'll try. Apple Spice cake, Chocolate Kahlua cheesecake, Blueberry pie, Almond raspberry tart, Fruit crumble pie, cupcakes with mango glaze, pumpkin trifle, chocolate raspberry torte. My mom's blueberry pie took 1st prize in Uncle Aaron's annual dessert contest.

Robin & Cousin Norah

I think I might need to save December happenings for the next post. We have had visits from grandparents, a great grandparent, Tom & Amy and a birthday celebration so far this month. Happy 3rd birthday, Robinson and hooray for potty training! (knock on wood) I'll post again soon. I promise. Happy holidays and remember all of the good in others and in you. The hustle and bustle can get stressful, try to breathe deep and focus on the happy.
Much love,
Katie

When Joe leaves, company bails me out

Even though this move to Williamsburg & Joe's new job has been pretty good, he has still been traveling a lot! He will be gone for 6 different trips all within 4 months. Luckily some are only hours away, but some are across the world. Thankfully Joe's parents & my mom have visited. Here are some photos from their last visit. Looking forward to see my mom again this Saturday for 2 days, and then I really need to find a babysitter! Teaching yoga is going well. I really do love it.

Grammy came to visit too




They baked cupcakes
and played all day

Facebook is to blame

for the lack of blogging on my part. I tend to gravitate toward facebook when having a free minute to mindlessly surf. But as promised, I had to update on the new place. Although we didn't end up where we thought we wanted to be, our current place seems to be a perfect fit. And things keep getting better for me on a personal note. Yes, I typed that out loud without knocking on wood. I'm already teaching at a local yoga/pilates studio, just found out my neighbor has connections at an art gallery to show my work and drawing classes that I could take, and got a letter today soliciting for yoga teachers at the "premier yoga studio". So, it looks like Williamsburg will be great for nurturing my soul. Guess I just need a perfect babysitter to land on my doorstep next. Remember, the answer is not how, it is simply yes.
Robin is sitting at the computer in this photo of the kitchen.

Living/Dining room shots. Notice: barely anything on the walls. Sure, we've been here one month, but still have things to hang up, a garage to overhaul, and a few rubbermaid totes and boxes to put somewhere. I know, the garage I guess. I'll submit to the fact that the car might not go in, but I still want to set up a gym in there! Elliptical at least.


Children's Museum of Richmond, I love you. Joe was in Richmond for work last week, so we headed up there on Thursday to see him and then continue on to DC to see Amy, Tom, & Erica. On Friday, I took Robin to the Children's museum. I highly recommend. I've been to a few, but this one is my favorite so far. Lots of pics of the busy bee exploring. Unfortunately my camera battery died half way through our museum trip. So, no outside water photos or ANY of our trip to DC.








Here in Williamsburg at one of the local parks...


Kyle met us at the Virginia Living Museum.


There are a couple more photos I'll grab off my phone and upload later. I hope everyone is doing great!
