Emma's Farm

Emma has taken to calling Frying Pan Farm "her" farm since it's so close by and we're there quite a bit. We had two playdates at the farm this week and the kids had a blast.

Trolington Beach Getaway

We had a great extended weekend at Bethany Beach with our good friends the Trolans. Other good friends the Citrons were also nearby to hang out too. The kids had such a good time together and the weather was perfect. Elyse Citron started calling us the "Trolingtons," the perfect nickname for our "family." Another succesful Trolington beach vacation in the books!
