Hello!

Yes, it's definitely been a while!

We'll mention a few highlights from the past months:

• Our birthday! (our amazing sister gave us a Polaroid camera! the picture above was the first picture to be taken. note the tower of racquets in the background)
• Our awesome spring break tennis trip to Baltimore
• Spending time with family and our little niece
  
• Overcoming various obstacles and dominating the tennis court (what can we say? we like to joke)
• Spending time with our awesome roommates and friends
• General Conference (probably one of the best weekends ever)
• And, of course, learning lots and lots in our classes!

Life is good and we are very blessed.

But we can't forget the most exciting news yet!
We have the privilege of traveling to Italy next month!

family.

Our family came in town two weeks ago to see our niece, Eleanor, who was born a few weeks earlier. It was such a treat to have our family all together, and we all had so much fun! Our family is pretty cool ;)

Isaac and I went with our dad to some museums while Beks, Hannah, Naomi and our mom went to Eastern Market.


I'd go to the moon just to wear that.

We were able to celebrate Isaac's bday (he is now a teenager) while together.

Beks and Isaac with Eleanor.

Bek and I had one of the best weekends ever. We love our family :D

so....

Our parents are coming this weekend! Hannah and Isaac are coming too! We love our family :D

Hello!

Well, it has definitely been awhile....
The holidays have come and gone, and now it is 2011!
Christmas was wonderful and so was the food. We spent New Years Eve working on puzzles while listening to The Beatles and eating amazing food.

While on break, we went camping in Canyonlands National Park with our brother and dad for a few days. It was a blast (despise the cold), and we had a lot of fun hiking, too.
We also watched some great movies (I'm thinking Prince of Persia!) with our family.

We head back to Virginia in a couple days and can't wait.

greetings...

By the time Bekah reads this tomorrow she'll be done with finals! Can I get a hells yeah! Ok, so maybe just a yeah! I finished finals this morning, and let me tell ya, it felt amazing. Really, I didn't think that feeling existed, but it did. I've been able to feel that way all day, and I love it.

We go home on Saturday! I'm counting down the days.

It snowed today! I love the snow. I got to be all cold and wet and miserable. But that's why I like it.

We get to see our mom, dad, sister, and brother soon! This is reason enough to be overly excited, which I am. We love our family :D






(Hope Bekah kicks butt in her English final. But this is Bekah we're talking about... She always kicks butt. And that is why we love her. Good luck!)

Two more weeks. Wow. Where did this semester go? Summer feels like it was years ago and Christmas feels like it is months away (my sense of time is all messed up)
Anyway, here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving break. Enjoy.

The beautiful Rachel

Rachel dropped a few things....

Berkeley Plantation

We spent a few hours at Berkeley Plantation on Wednesday before heading to Williamsburg.
