Trip to the VA Mountains

Last week we traveled down to Front Royal in the VA Mountains for a week of relaxing. Mom Nagy rented a mountain house and we were able to join her and the Beenders for a much needed week away. It was so wonderful hanging out with everyone with nothing to do and spending some QT with Hayden. What a great week it was! My Mom and Dad were even able to travel over for the day and have lunch and visit for awhile, what a fun treat! We relaxed on the gorgeous wrap around deck, played games, went to the pool, drank wine, visited JMU, went to Shenandoah National Park, hit the flea markets, boys golfed, and of course our favorite- did a winery tour of the VA wineries- so much fun! But we ended up all buying a lot of wine! Whoops.....there were just so may good ones, it was hard to resist!

Here are some photos from the week:

Hayden and her cousin Anne (almost exactly 1 year older) really bonded- they will be great friends, so cool!

Summer Fun

The summer has flown by but it has been great. We've been keeping very busy with Hayden and lots of weekend activities. We have been camping several times, had our annual neighborhood block party (where the guys played poker in the street under a light until the wee hours of the morning), Jack Johnson concert (and an old school Journey concert for KB), Phillies game, Musicfest in Bethlehem, a trip to Seattle (for Chris only to see his good friend Daymond and his twin sons Daymond and Danton), and many other fun events. We cannot believe it is Labor Day weekend this week and the summer is nearly over- where does the time go????

Here are a few summer photos...

Camping was awesome- the weather could not have been better and we were right on the river

Fourth of July at the Farm!

I know, I know, I have been extremely bad about keeping the Nagy blog up to date- it's been forever!! Things have just been really crazy but also really awesome. I went back to work at the end of June and all the adjustments have been going great. Hayden loves her school up the street and Chris and I have managed to master the logistics of drop off/pick up, commuting, working, feeding the little monkey and making dinner. Boy, it's nuts, but going great.

We spent the fourth of July up at the Nagy farm- it was a blast! We had a huge group of family and friends for a BBQ (semi in the rain- doh!) with yummy food, drinks, and an incredible fireworks display put on my Chris and his friends- like we'd expect anything less. We even got to go midnight gokarting on the farm- it was awesome....and we had our camper set up so Hayden was able to nap and chill out in the warmth while her crazy parents rode go karts and hung with friends- great times- and luckily the rain only lasted a little while.

Here is our first fourth of july family shot...Hayden was all decked out in her red, white, and blue!
