Skyline Drive

With fall foliage upon us in Central Virginia, we took our annual trip to Skyline Drive this weekend to see the beautiful changing leaves. Lily enjoyed running around outside and playing in the grass, while Jon and I enjoyed taking way too many pictures with our new camera! Here is a little slide show from the day:

A Fortney Wedding

Just last weekend, Jon's younger brother, Tim, got married. The wedding was absolutely perfect! Christina (the bride) looked beautiful, the weather was great, and the reception was just so much fun.

Lily was a flower girl, along with her cousin Ally, and she did a pretty decent job. I did have to walk her down the isle, but at least there were no temper tantrums!

Carter's Mountain Orchard


The Fortney family went to an apple festival this weekend in Charlottesville. Lily got to pick her own apples right from the tree, choose her own pumpkin to take home, and eat some homemade apple donuts. And I guess I ate more than my fair share of donuts as well!

Here are some pictures from the day:





And here is a little video:

Apple Butter Time!


Jon and I took Lily to make apple butter at her Grandma's and Great-Grandma's church this weekend. Jon made the mixing look quite easy:

But I didn't have such an easy time with it! In fact, I think you can see the men in the background of this picture laughing at me:


But despite the hard labor, we all had a great time!
