Fall

What is it about fall, that makes everything seem to smell a little nicer, look a little prettier, and seem a little happier? I love everything about fall. I love the smells, the colors, and the thoughts of upcoming Holidays. I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and hot apple cider. I love the fact that it is not humid in Virginia anymore. I love buying Halloween costumes for the boys. (NO, I do not make their costumes.) And I love having my mom here with me. She loves Fall as well. I probably learned some of my love for all things fall from her.

James' Baptism

This was one of the most important days that our Huff clan has experienced for a long time. Matt and I have never been more pleased with James than we were this day. It was a very special experience for all of us.

James was also very happy to have his grandma and grandpa Kinney there to give talks on Baptism and the Holy Ghost. He also asked Katy and Sammy to sing his favorite baptism song. They all did a beautiful job. It was truly an unforgettable day. I wasn't quite prepared for the feelings I had. I felt the approval of our Heavenly Father, His love, and the truthfulness of the gospel was again made apparent to me through the whisperings of the still small voice. The amazing part was that I felt all of those things because of the example of my 8 year old son James. Wish everyone could have been there.

Huff Trip to Florida

The Huff's decided we had to get out of Richmond for the week. We couldn't handle watching one more friend and neighbor drive away in a moving truck. We made an awesome stop in Savannah, GA and ate dinner at the famous Pirate's House built in 1773 by actual pirates. The boys were in heaven.

The next stop on our trip was Daytona Beach, FL. We figured we might as well stop there since we were so close. Everyone had a great time getting wet and sandy.

Our final destination was Sea World in Orlando, FL. We all had a great time touching sting rays and feeding them. Watching the whale and dolphin shows and riding the rides. We especially enjoyed having Scott, Julie and the little boys join us at Sea World.

Matt finished another triathlon. We are so proud of our athlete daddy! It was especially nice to have my parents here with us. And we had Katy with us the week before. We had the pleasure of attending Sammy's final concert (Carmina Burana) in which Sammy had the highest solo part I have ever heard in my whole life. She was amazing. Things are getting back to normal for everyone now. Matt is looking forward to being done with school and finally being a fourth year dental student. I don't have any pictures to post of the triathlon or Katy or my parents or Sammy's concert. I forgot the digital camera. And the biggest news of all is we are expecting a BABY!!! That's right, Little Huff #4. Everyone think....GIRL!!! Send frilly, pink vibes my way.
