Two things we can't get enough of around our house:
Cooking Light recipes and peanut butter/banana anything (obvious since this is my second peanut butter/banana post 2 weeks). It just so happens that the cover of the October issue of
Cooking Light is peanut butter banana bread. Of course, I made some. I recommend you do the same!

On Saturday Keith went to the Dulles Air & Space Museum and the Maserati dealership (typical) while the girls spent the day primping.
Abbey didn't feel well due to a cold, but she looked absolutely radiant!
Abbey and Travis are spending the week in the Dominican Republic. 
Then we're headed to D.C. for a couple of days for a belated 2 year anniversary trip.
