Apple picking with the Morrisons

The Blisses, Morrisons, and about a million other families decided to spend the day apple picking! :> Given how few apples were left on the trees, I have a feeling this may be the last weekend possible, so I'm glad we squeezed in the trip.

We went to the same orchard we visited two years ago with the Maillouxes, so I thought it would be fun to throw in a photo or two from our prior visit. It's unbelievable to think about how much has changed in the past few years. Not only did baby number one arrive about a month and a half after that visit, but now we've got baby number two on the way!!

Sending much love to everyone,

Jeanne, Edward and Sebastian

Here are some of the photos from 2006... :>

The Blisses say "hi!"

Is it really October, already???? The last part of this summer absolutely flew by.

All is well with the Blisses. Year two of teaching 8th grade English is in full swing and keeping me plenty busy (alas, 12-hour days are not yet a thing of the past...).

Sebastian is growing like a weed and becoming more and more of his own little person every day. His younger sibling-in-training is also growing like a weed and is even more active in the womb than Sebastian was and is making getting a full night's sleep difficult already. Bliss baby two should make his or her formal entrance in January.

That's all for now. Sending much love to all and posting a few recent photos. (I haven't figured out how to give them captions, yet. One is Sebastian and his friend Maya playing in the kitchen. Another is the Morrison family after a lovely hike in Prince William Forest. The third is Sebastian and Uncle Kevin enjoying a BBQ in the back garden. Up top are photos of Sebastian and his favorite "woof" on the planet, Gobi, and Sebastian and Papa after a gorgeous bike ride on the C&O Canal near Harper's Ferry.)
