We made the pilgrimage to Flora Hill Park for Colonial Heights’ annual Halloween party. This year Joe was a triceratops.

Rrrreaaarrarrooor!

Lia was recently named one of the Top 40 Under 40 in the greater Richmond area by local newspaper Style Weekly.

Congratulations Lia, for being an above-average citizen and for having the respect and friendship of the other cool citizens who nominated you. Bravo!

I haven’t done one of these in a while (or posted here at all in a while!) … but I just got nostalgic for old pics of the boy.

Enjoy! xoxo, Lia

Joe has the best school. Terrific teachers, terrific classmates, terrific everything. The whole school knows him – one class all high-fived him as they passed by, single file, in the hall.

It’s great to know our boy is in such good hands.

D is for Ms. Deena, Joe’s teacher.

Ms. Konnie helps Joe out every day.

Cow or cookie? Too easy.

Gym class. Joe destroys in dodge ball.

Joe played MC at Flora Hill Park tonight as Colonial Heights participated in the national Celebrate Safe Communities event.

Lots of people turned out. There was a DJ, lots of cookies and cider, all with a new playground as backdrop.

Very cool event, congratulations and thanks to all the people that volunteer to put these things on.

Joe showing up to get the party started. Right. Quickly.

DJ Ron M doing his thing.

Neighbors.

Another neighbor.

Still more neighbors. They were everywhere.

Great face-painting.

Joe partied ’till the break of bath time.
