Visit from Gigi and Pops

Gigi and Pops came to visit recently, and although neither of them is featured in any of these photos, we sure had a great time exploring the area with them.

Halloween Sneak Peek

Tonight Hudson wore his Halloween costume to small group. Folks were surprised to see a lion at small group, but were relieved to find out it was actually Hudson.

The Dude LOVES Sesame Street

Hudson's favorite show is Sesame Street, primarily because he likes to dance to the theme song. Check out his moves.

The Zoo

Today we visited the Reston Zoo - yes, Reston has a zoo. Hudson had a blast! His favorite animals were the birds - can you tell from the video which animal sound he likes to make these days?

Weekend at the Bay

We had the pleasure of spending the weekend with some dear friends at the Chesapeake Bay. We had a wonderful time. Hudson wasn't the biggest fan of the sand, but he loved getting his feet in the water.

Grandma comes to visit

While Karen's out of town for two weeks, my mom kindly came to help me out with Hudson and daily life. It's a huge relief having her here to help take care of him and keep the house in order. We've also had a lot of fun, as you can see!

Great Wolf Lodge

This weekend we met some dear friends in Williamsburg, VA at the Great Wolf Lodge. We had a wonderful time, and Hudson LOVED the water park.
