Happy Halloween!

It's been a busy day, but most importantly we spent the last few hours over at our friends Amy and Dawsons' house.  We thought about taking the kids out trick or treating but ended up having much more fun sitting on the porch visiting and checking out all the costumes.

Lily and Dawson even tried to put candy it the trick-or-treaters' bags.  Though costumes with masks scared Lily quite a bit. :(  They did quite well.

Hope your Halloween was spook-tacular!

We're Home

Safe and sound.


I still have to upload the pics from the camera to the computer, but they're coming! :)

Even More DC

We went on a staff tour of the Capitol Building today, coordinated by our host through the House Majority Leader's office. Talk about lucky timing, Steny Hoyer just happened to be walking through the offices as we were checking in and stopped to say hi.

The tour was great. And then we walked across the street and saw the reading room of the Library of Congress. So beautiful.

Let's Write

Lily loves to draw and write. The other day Mom noticed Lil taking her time before getting to business, trying to get her pencil just right.

Chech this out:






She already holds a writting implement propperly!

Where does she get this stuff?!

Rain and Shopping

It's raining today!

So we elected to sleep late and make today a shopping day. After all, I had never been to Bloomingdales. ;) I was in the market for a pair of brown shoes but ended up with a new hat instead... life is so rough.

More DC

We walked the Mall and saw the Capitol Building and the Whitehouse today. (from the outside) Lily was a trooper and did most of the walking herself!

Looking forward to sharing pictures.

Washington DC

Mom's never been to Washington DC before. One might say it's on her "bucket list." And since she's over here on the east coast we though we should make a trip up. Our friends, the Cooks, are kind enough to put us up for the week and so we have arrived in our nation's capitol today.

Please forgive me for the sparce posts this week. I'll share lots of pictures when we get back next week!
