DC Part 1

For April break this year we took a road trip to Washington DC. We were really headed down to spend Easter with Gab's aunties but we also took some time out to do some awesome sight seeing and to hang out at the White House! Yes, THE White House! See photos from our trip!

This fountain looks like fun.... but will daddy get mad if I get wet?

Who cares?! It's SUPER FUN!

I LOVE the Easter Bunny!

Mommy wanted to go to get cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcakes but I fell asleep as we pulled in. I let her shop while I snoozed!

Our tickets to the White House.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I have been looking forward to this long weekend for months :-) And the improved summer weather that Memorial Day often brings. Not a TON planned this weekend, lots of family time which I appreciate so much.

Today we took the Gabs to the farm. She LOVED it! When I was a child, this is the farm my parents took me to. It had closed when I was a teenager and remained closed until last year. I was so glad to share my memories with Gabs today and to begin making some new memories. We WILL be back again.

Tomorrow will be nice, going to Gab's Godmother's camp for the afternoon and a cook out. Monday, enjoying family some more. Picture Post coming soon!

Watching You...

Dear Gabs,

Last weekend at your Memere's graduation I had a rare opportunity to watch you. You were so happy to be there, and proud of your Memere. As the graduates stood to receive their diplomas, you clapped and cheered with abandon when each name was called. You threw your whole body into being happy for these strangers, friends, and family as you always do.

Gabs, you teach me much about living in the moment and about being exactly where I am. There is much I can learn from you and by watching you. My darling, you are amazing to me each and every day. I am so blessed to be the mommy of a wonderful, funny, smart, beautiful, clever, 18 month old.

Love,

Mommy
