Even though they only catch up a few times a year, the Hoya offspring are quite the dynamic group the instant they get back together. Add presents and sugar, and it’s a party!

Charleston: All About Food
Charleston is most definitely known as a food destination, so we had to make the most of eating during our three-day weekend. We stuck to a genre – southern – with some BBQ mixed in for good measure. We left full and happy!
Charleston: Activity Central
Charleston was always one of those cities on the “to do” list. And, it became a reality in November for a long weekend. It was great weather, so we enjoyed lots of time walking around and being outside. Here are a few of the key places we visited and activities we conquered.
Hitting His Halloween Stride

Parading Around Town
While mom was spending time with friends, Colin and dad headed off to Williamsport to hang out with family and watch his cousin perform in the largest night parade on the East Coast. Here’s to a lovely fall weekend in the country!

Colin turned two on a beautiful fall day. We spent the morning snapping some photos among the foliage, and then celebrated the momentous day at Il Forno (aka Uncle Dave’s Pizza Hut). There was great food, mediocre singing for both Colin and his aunt Katie, and lightsaber battles outside. Colin deemed the day a definite…
Third Time is Charming!
The PACE babes celebrated their second birthdays together – capped with the third infamous couch photo. While everyone couldn’t be there, there was plenty of toddler chaos represented. And, they barely fit compared with years past!
