Our pumpkin scout.

We were so happy to meet baby Ayden and to visit with my Uncle George, Aunt Cindy, cousin Bryan, and wife Jami. I apologize that my camera was fogged up for many of these shots but I couldn't resist posting our visit. George and Cindy just moved into a new home and it was fun to see their new place and to meet the newest member in the Herndon family.

Sophia's first Trip to Hampden-Sydney

Are we having fun yet? This picture was taken seconds before a torrential down pour of rain.

Raph and his former coach, Dr. Thornton, watching the game.

On Saturday we traveled to Hampden-Sydney, Raph's Alma Mater, to watch a rugby game and to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the rugby team. The weather was dismal but it was still fun to be back in Farmville and to reminisce about college days.
