The W&OD Trail, a formidable opponent, and Riverbend Park

The W&OD Trail is right behind our house, and I am loving it.  Now that I'm out of the yucky first few months of pregnancy, I'm hoping to enjoy it more :)  I took the kids out a few days after we moved in--it was the first time they rode their own bikes on the trail and they were so excited.  It was a cold day, so they are both wearing two jackets along with hats and gloves (not to mention helmets).  I made sure they followed the trail rules (like keeping to the right) and we went out during non-rushhour, so there were very few riders besides us.  It was so nice.  The kids got pretty tired on the way back, especially Beck, so he opted to walk the last part.  Fall in Virginia is really spectacular.



I was walking (still feeling yucky) with Bella while supervising the riders.




I took Ramsey and Beck on a ride in the bike trailer on Ramsey's birthday.  I'm feeling better (at 19 weeks), but am totally out of shape (not to mention some extra weight!) so the ride was pretty exhausting.


These two!  Beck was pretty restless on this ride, but generally they just snack and sing and play in the trailer.  I don't know how all of this will work out once the new baby is here, but a lot of things will change I suppose :)

The birthday girl!

Sweet boy :)

Matt loves to find a new place to explore, while I am content visiting "tried and true" destinations.  He took us to Riverbend Park on the Potomac River.  It was so quiet and truly breathtaking.  
We hiked with Bella and loved the peaceful setting.


The kids are really into taking pictures these days--here's Ramsey's picture of Matt and me.

 
 Dance, dance, dance.

Climb, climb, climb.

 

My beauties in a beautiful setting.

Oh yeah, and Matt's pics....
