Nationals Park Tour

 

Here we are at the start of the tour.

 

The tour guide said this was the best secret of the park... The only view in the park of the Washington Monument.

 

Here is Dave in the Press Box.

Girls on the Run/5K

 

We were up bright and early this morning.  Here are the girls making their way to the Baker Park Band Shell to meet their GOR team for the race today.  It's 7am!

 Here's the team of 3, 4, 5th graders from Green Valley ES.

 

Here's Ava and her running buddy, Ms. Dill (also one of her coaches)

Weekend Fun

 

Saturday morning Jenna propped up this tiny book she made for Dark Star to read while he was in his tank.

 

Cute picture of my twins - Dave and Drew at our friend Ann and Joe's annual Memorial Day BBQ.

 

Jenna danced and danced away at Ashley's graduation party on Saturday.  Here she is dancing with Drew. 

 Ava and I went to the annual Anna's Epilepsy Walk in Middletown this morning.  Ava ran the 2K and came in 3rd.  Here she is warming up!

 

Oreo (I mean Charlie) is back.  His owner is sick and he needed a home.  He is in our garage and came outside this afternoon to explore and watch the girls swim.

Amelia's 11th Adoption Day

 

This picture was taken on the front porch of our home in Urban a few days after Amelia arrived home on May 18th, 2004.  

 

We celebrated tonight with ice cream pie!

Saturday Fun

 

This morning, Drew, Grannie and I drove to DC so that Drew could have his photo taken for the "Face of Cannibis" campaign.  He we are waiting our turn.

 

You see that right.  The girls had to swim today.  This would mark our earliest pool season ever.

 

Ava did not last long in the cold pool.  Here she is tanning on our hail marked deck.

 

The pool play turned more into water gun fights as time went on.  A summer like storm put all outside play on hold for the day.

Ava took this one before the show.
