Lucky me! I got to finally meet - face to face - my friend, Sujata of The Root Connection ! We became friends in blogland - where we had shared stories about family and quilting - and we were able to stop for a visit on our East Coast trip. She showed us many of her quilts, which were even more beautiful in person! This was truly a highlight of our trip! Thank you Sujata for your warm welcome - looking forward to more visits in the future, we hope!

| 4th of July at the Fairfax, VA, parade! My family has a long history of 4th of July parades - growing up, our town's parade went right past our house, so every year was a big family reunion-parade-potluck dinner-carnival-fireworks day! As a result, it's not "the 4th" without a parade, and family and friends. This is my brother and sister-in-law, Chuck and Jean. |

| Military honor guard. |
 |
| Another big highlight - meeting our newest family member, Hudson! My daughter, Hannah, looks pretty happy, doesn't she? Such a sweet boy - and named for us, what an honor! |
 |
| I can't stop looking at this picture - I just LOVED holding him and talking to him, I could have done it all day. We were talking about how he wants to take piano lessons some day. :) |
 |
| Another favorite photo - Scott and my nephew, Nathan (Hudson's daddy). It just kind of tells a story, doesn't it? Just a great family day, lots of fun, lots of great stories told and shared. Just wish we could see these great people more often! |
 |
| Next day - sightseeing day! Hannah and her bf Danny, who had never visited D.C. before. So - we did a big walking tour of the monuments, starting with the Washington Monument. |
 |
| Scott, Danny, Hannah, and nephew, Evan, at the Jefferson Memorial. Great family day! |
