Homeward Bound

Quick trip to Memphis to see some of our favorite people! Celebrated Amelia's 4th birthday with the Davisons, Trexlers, Blakes, & Kinneys, as well as all 4 grandparents. Saw Les Miserables at the Orpheum. Enjoyed a perfect late summer evening at the Levitt Shell with Papa, Pa and the Davisons--first dinner at Molly's LaCasita in Overton Square, then the Abigail Washburn/Bela Fleck show under the stars. Fantastic long weekend!

Keeping Up with the Marsh-dashians

We are much more interesting than those over-rated Kardashians, don't you think? Here are a few Fall 2011 images from our northern Virginia adventures--not the stuff of reality shows, just the stuff memories are made of.
