So how long has it been, exactly?

Since I last talked with you all?

Apparently, some of my friends around here didn't believe me when I said that I would be reading while Emma was gone with the grandparents.

I just want to let you all know that is what I did...while Peter was at work. When he came home...well....I won't get into the details. Let's just say we had fun.

Actually, that isn't true. I can tell you some things. Like how we rented movies and ate dinner in the living room while watching them. It's funny to think that we haven't been able to do that in a very long time. Almost a year. With my sister and nephew living here, he's quite loud, so we can never hear the TV when he's around.

Oh, and almost three months after our anniversary we finally went out to celebrate...at the local ice cream stand. Sometimes it's good to just sit and eat junk food.





Who needs all that fancy stuff all the time?

But now Emma is home, even though I suspect she doesn't want to be. On the way home after picking her up, she had to call them and tell them she missed them.

However, we did have fun the day I picked her up. My parents and sister rented two condos on the Powhatan Plantation in Williamsburg, and so we spent the day with them before coming home.

First, Emma showed me the geese she liked to feed. Since their condo baked the lake, it was very convenient.









Then we went to the pool.











We stayed there for a few hours, and while we were there Emma made a friend. She's from England. Leave it to Emma to find a fellow European.



On the way home, not too far from our house, we passed a farm for sale. It was like God was telling me we need to buy it. See?



Now if He would just show me how to come up with the cash needed to buy it...
