Time for more visitors! Yeah! My mom came out to visit us for a few days last month. She was able to spend a week and see us in our "daily" routine. The boys did a few days of school while she was here. We didn't want to get too much behind.
Mom was our 3rd family visitor.
We spent a day downtown visiting the Capitol building and the Library of Congress. It was a miserably cold, wet day outside but we enjoyed our time indoors. We all agreed we can't wait until Spring when we can explore more, in a more desirable temperature. You know, we're still thin-blooded.
The gang at the Library of Congress. What a day we had.....we were all tired by this point.
Lilymei and Gram riding the metro. Lily loves to ride the train.
Is Nate trying to look taller than Gram? It looks like Drew is catching up too! At least Lily is still under 3 feet ~ not for long though.
Fall foliage we haven't seen in a LONG time. The wind was blowing pretty good so I was able to get a nice shot of the American flag unfurled.
I really like the pink and yellow leaves popping out in the middle of all the lush green. It's amazing how different the trees in the back yard are compared to the front yard.
I have lots of updates to be posted so check back soon. Happy Fall!
October is a birthday month in the O household. While Gram was here we celebrated Drew's 11th birthday and Gram's ?? birthday.
The gang is ready to dig into a Wegman's white cake. 
Drew and Nate opened their birthday gifts from Gram....gift cards for REI. I can see more camping gear in our future.
Lily wasn't left out in the gift receiving. You can see she was extremely excited to find candy and pennies in her bag.
Birthday cupcakes! Who can resist? Not me....chocolate!
Oops! I think Drew has grown a little bit since he last wore this shirt. He dove back into the bag and found his real gift....
a Buckeyes jersey! Oh yeah, just in time for the big game this weekend. Happy birthday Drew! We love you!
