Lemaire

Well, Scott returned from his trip to Texas on Tuesday. I'm glad he is finally home to stay! The evening after he got home we headed over to Richmond with Liberty and AJ for our 7:45pm reservation at Lemaire. Lemaire is an old restaurant in the historic Jefferson Hotel that has been revamped and will be reopening July 8th. (I'm told it's named for Thomas Jefferson's personal chef.) London got us in for a test meal which was absolutely incredible. We had fried green tomatoes, oysters, scallops, crabmeat - those were just the appetizers!! For our entrees we had filet mignon, crabcakes, and salmon, topped off with incredible desserts. It was honestly the finest restaurant I've ever eaten in. We loved it. The hotel is also amazingly beautiful. We are so proud of London for getting out there and landing such a high major job!! I can't wait until the next time we get to dine there!!!

Teeth!!!

Oh, I almost forgot!! Graham has 6 teeth now (4 on the top and 2 on the bottom)!!!

Isn't his smile beautiful...haha!!

He's just about ready to start crawling (a little late if you ask me, but that means he's not in to everything yet)!

Crazy Days

Well the last few weeks have been a flutter of activity for our family. While we were in Boston, London found out that she got a part in a play in Richmond for the Fall...very exciting!! She also went in for an interview for a restaurant server's position at the historic Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond and walked out as their new special parties/event planner...very, very exciting!! Scott and I are so proud - we really feel she will excel in this position. We're excited to go for a preview in the next couple of weeks.

My sister, Liberty, got married a little over a week ago...such beautiful wedding and reception. It was great to have all our family and AJ's (Liberty's husband) in for the big event. Our house was a circus for a few days, but now it's too quiet. Of course, Scott has found out that he likes Wii golf, so that has kept our house from being too quiet.

It's hard to believe the summer is about halfway over. We have the beach bug and are hoping to somehow find time to get away for a couple of days!

Boston Bound

Last we week after much travel and separation, our little bunch met up in Boston, MA, for our first real family vacation. Scott had been speaking at a youth event in Canada, so he flew down to Boston when he was finished. And London, Graham, and I flew up to Boston to meet him. I must say that Graham should've earned a pair of wings for his first flight - he was so good!!! Our first evening their was humorous and frustrating - trying to find our way around a city we weren't familiar with. We also had a blunder or two with Jack, the GPS. But once we got the hang of things, the next 3 days were a blast. We spent time visiting some of the historic sights, walking around town, shopping (of course), visiting the beach, and just being together as a family. It was much needed and very enjoyable. Now where should we go for the next one?

I hope this works....

After seeing some of our friends' blogs, I thought it would be good to start one of our own to keep family and friends updated on our life. Sometimes we forget to relay little and important details to family and friends, so I'll try my best to include them in this blog.
