Bridge

Early run under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

Girls Run Wild

Nicole's running buddies that meet at 4:30am to run most days of the week. Old Town is clearly quiet that time of day.

Halloween Season

Some neighbors are getting into the Halloween grove.

Drake

Sam got his first Division 1 offer tonight. He's rather excited and interested in spending four years in Des Moines.

Hiking Weather

We've had 4 days of perfect Fall weather which means more walks in the neighborhoods and parks for me. Nicole walks and runs in most weather.

Vote Nasty

One of us got their vote in early.

Notorious RBG

Nicole and Dylan went down to mourn at the Supreme Court last night. Sad time for America.

2021

Dylan and friends at a winery out west without the wine. It was a beautiful fall day to head to the foothills of the blue ridge for pictures.

Never too Early

I believe Halloween season starts on September 1st. So does this person or they really did leave the kid out too long.

Changing Seasons

The days are getting shorter and the runs longer. Early morning pictures it's the pumpkin man.

School’s Going Well

First week of distance learning done and hoping they can get back in the classroom soon because this will not be effective all year.

12th Grade

No drive or bus ride to school this year.

Getaway

We all went out to Bryce Mountain in western Virginia for a night. Our friends the Lorenger's have a great house on the slopes but summer offers a lakes, hiking and a fire pit. The weather is starting to cool down and it's even nicer in the mountains. Good way to close out summer and get back to school tomorrow, online.

Little Chair

The boys got physicals today so that they could start phase 3 football practice with an actual ball. Based on the furniture in their doctors office, it may be time to move on from their pediatrician. They are both well.

Morning Fog

Nicole had a screening procedure at 6:45am this morning and I used the time to get a three mile walk. Some soccer clubs were taking advantage of the last of the early summer light to play some games. It's warm and humid now but feeling more like Fall this weekend. Nicole's procedure went well and doesn't need to starve herself for two days for another 5 years.

Rugby Workouts

We got some Fall feeling weather on Sunday which was perfect for some early training. We are just hoping a rugby season happens this year. Dylan is ready.
