Sister time

My sisters, Kahlil, and my parents were in and out the last few days. The occasion: Laura visiting from Utah! 

Natalie and Kahlil surprised Laura by hiding in the trunk of Scott's car when we went to pick her up at the airport. They were fresh off a million mile bike ride from Harper's Ferry through DC to Northern Virginia, and hatched up this plan to startle Laura. She jumped in the car in the arrivals zone, and then a few moments later, Natalie's leg pushed through the back seat! Then Kahlil's face! 

Laura's reaction: "What is wrong with you?" We laughed for years.

There was plenty of good food, and a batch of cupcakes.

It has been frosty and fall-like. Ice on the car windows Saturday morning when we went for bagels.

Action shot of bagel tower collapsing. Note Scott's hand speeding in to save breakfast.

Natalie really got into the backpack vac. Thanks for cleaning!

Kahlil spent a few days working on a deck. He had helpers on the weekend, who seemed happy enough to duck away from sister talk. 

Sunday we snuck a peak in Natalie and Kahlil's soon-to-be new house in Luray - what a charmer!
