At the Toronto Zoo

Check out this picture of Hudson and his cousin Catherine (2 years old)  disrespecting the bears at the Metro Toronto Zoo. Classic!

Fall has arrived...finally

Fall has finally arrived in NC.   It was a long, long hot summer.    Here's what we've been up to:

We've been traveling a bunch (Halifax, Emerald Isle family beach trip, Toronto).

I've been working a lot (no one needs to see a picture of that).

And running a lot (running the Outer Banks half marathon in 3 weeks). This was last weekend. Yup, 13.1 miles. Already got this one in the bag.

We've been hanging out with great friends:

Lincoln met his great grandmother (my wonderful Nana) when we went to visit in September.

Sadly, I lost my sweet grandfather (leading to the quick trip to Halifax):

Lincoln is growing and remains a wonderful, happy baby. He's almost 9 months and crawling everywhere.    Hudson is still a rockstar.  

Labor Day Weekend

Mike and I spent Labor Day weekend in Charleston, our first vacation together, alone, in over 3 years.  It was heaven!  We basically ate and drank our way through the city.  For anyone planning to go, I highly recommend the restaurant FIG (food is good) F.I.G. We had dinner at FIG one evening, then went back for dessert another night.  And I think I drank the city straight out of prosecco. 

I ran a 5-mile loop through the town and along the battery - a great way to see the beautiful, old (huge) houses.

Mike's parents kept the boys and there is no way we could ever thank them enough.

We didn't take any pictures except this one. Hilarious.

And some random snaps of the boys:

Hudson and his best friend,  Henry:

Henry will be spending the night with us this week so I can only imagine what these two will get up to together.

Two boys = the best
