I spent more of my childhood in Roanoke, VA than in any other city so I consider that my hometown. When you grow up in such a beautiful town, it is easy to forget how pretty it is until you move away. I went to undergraduate college in Harrisonburg, VA, which like Roanoke, is also in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It wasn’t until I moved to Raleigh, NC that I realized mountains weren’t everywhere. It is always nice to visit your hometown but with this scenery, going home is so much sweeter.

It turned out to be a nice weekend dispite rain forcast. Everyone who got to see the kids were excited. I think the kids did well and we kept them entertained most of the time. It was great having them in Roanoke for the weekend.
I’m so jealous you guys got to play in the leaves!! it just kinda snowed here and the trees freaked out and dropped their leaves, but they didnt change colors. lol. guess where i’m gonna be for Turkey Day?????
We sure enjoyed seeing your adorable children from a distance! What horrible luck to have the triplets right next door and can’t even visit~ dang them swine! See you next time….stay well.
