Locks of Love and Lego awesomeness

Our newest addition...Lillian Jean Fadness......(ok...not ours, but Alissa's...I claim both of my nephews and my neice as my own!! Love them immensley)

Michael, Libby and I went into DC to a lego exhibit with Michael's friend Ryan, his mom Brenda and his little brother Will for our last adventure before school started...there were replicas of famous buildings out of legos and then at the end of the tour was a whole bunch of legos for the boys to make their own creations!

Libby got a new look just in time for the beginning of the school year...she donated 10 inches of hair to locks of love and got pink extensions in return!

Updates, updates and more updates!

Hello...it's been a long while and I apologize...we've been busy as everyone is. This summer we spent or vacation roadtripping to SD and had a marvelous time with or family! Now, school has started and the kids are busy again...Braedon tried out for the JV soccer team at South River High School and made it through the second round before he was cut. He had to do a 3 mile run in 24 minutes and he did amazing with a time of 24:48. Unfortunately, he was cut that night, but he did an amazing job. He is currently on two local teams...one traveling and one county where he will get plenty of playing time and hopefully be ready for next year!

Libby started piano this summer and is sailing right through..she loves it! She started fall Volleyball and is doing great. Her first game is on 9-11, her team is ready for a win! Now to find her some sewing classes....that's a little trickier~ Her and Michael have birthdays coming up and are very excited to be another year older~!

Michael brings up the rear...as always. He is trying out fall soccer and has his first practice 9/7 and match on Saturday 9/12. He also wants to try karate and it's on mom's list of things to do... :)
