And then this...



Words can never express how I feel every time I see THIS!  One very special young man reading to his six year old sister -- just because SHE asked him to after dinner.  Thank you Lord for this gift!  Best oldest brother EVER!

Mess


Sometimes you just have to wonder "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!"  The best part is no one claimed it (well of course not) but seriously someone had to miss the sink and dump the remains of their plate like that!

Brian turns 37

Brian turned 37 today!  John and Rhonda came to visit and celebrate with us.  Brian and I went on our first date out by ourselves since Jake was born - to the Elkridge Furnace Inn.  We had a lovely quiet meal it felt strange to be able to talk by ourselves without interruption:)

National Gallery of Art





We took the kids on a Granite Field trip today to the National Gallery of Art.  What an amazing building that is!  It is enormous and so beautiful inside.


Granite kids!


Olivia, Alaina, and Ella in front of the beautiful flowers.


After our tour we found these awesome fountains.  If the weather was warmer I think we would have had some wet kids.
