October: Chloe and Dylan visit a pumpkin patch with their cousins. Dan and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. For Halloween, Chloe dresses up as a Butterfly Queen and Dylan dresses up as Spider Man. Dylan didn't even know who Spider Man was, but soon after he wanted to watch Spider Man cartoons and movies.
November: Dylan and Chloe have fun in the leaves. Dan and I host our first Thanksgiving at our house.
December: Dan turns 35 again. I make Advent Calendar bags. The stars finally align and Dan and I can finally leave the kids at home with a babysitter for the first time. We enjoyed an awesome italian dinner at at Acqua al 2 .
July: Chloe says goodbye to La Petite Academy. Dylan and Chloe spend the summer at a new school. We used our grill a lot. We checked out the carousel at Lake Accotink. We biked the Virginia Creeper Trail and went camping with The Smiths and The Millers from Raleigh (I'll skip telling you about the heavy downpour and how I freaked out trying to figure out how to use the brakes on my bike.)
August: Chloe starts kindergarten.
September: Grandma Betty turns 55. Chloe turns 5 and has her first birthday party.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a time that went by too quickly in an age of texting, Facebook, iPhones and Twittter. Who has time to blog? The year has nearly ended with only two posts for this year. Not sure if I'll maintain this blog, but thought I'd at least summarize the year. Here'e the first quarter:
January: Chloe made funny faces. Dylan turned two.
February: Janice turned 28 again. The Green Shirts defeated the Black Helmets in the Super Bowl. We had fun in the snow.
March: Dad turned 55 again. We bought a zoo. (Not really, just visited on a really nice day in March).
