Estudiante

Lucy is a for real kindergartner.

This is how her morning went....up before the alarm. Dressed in a flash. Ate half her cereal because her "tummy was nervous." Posed for photographs. Hugs and more hugs. Said hi to Mrs. F before heading out to the playground. One last hug. Ran to the monkey bars before I was 5 steps away.


Can't believe she's at school. I swear she was keeping me up all night just yesterday. Sigh

Big Men on Campus

Inevitably, school has arrived. Elliot literally thought we were dropping him at the curb. No son, it's my parental right to walk you in on the first day of school. Luckily, Charlie let us walk him to class. Good luck, boys!

Brrrr Lake

We began the vacation season by heading to Bear Lake. The boys both wake boarded. Lucy, with the help of the greatest Aunt Kathy, knee boarded for the first time. Needless to say, all three tubed.

The Carolina Shore

We heart North Carolina!


The Outer Banks did not disappoint.


The kids played on the beach, skim boarded, boogie boarded, body surfed, hunted for crabs, fished, played with cousins and learned to play pool.

The District

We spent a couple of days touring D.C. while we were back east.



As usual, we packed in the fun....burgers with Uncle Doug at the Shake Shack, monument march, Natural History Museum, Ford's Theater, Portrait Gallery, Nationals game, American History Museum, more monuments, Pentagon Memorial, chili at Hard Times Cafe and more monuments. Phew. So fun!!

Cub Camp

Charlie experienced his first Cub Scout camp. And it was awesome! He shot bb guns, dove through "lasers," hiked, played games and launched rockets.

This year the Trading Post didn't sell pocket knives, which is what Elliot bought. Charlie spent his hard earned money on a rabbit skin. What the what?!

As a side note, it took him about twenty minutes to scrub his body clean.

Dance Recital

Lucy performed in her dance recital to a packed house. She did a tap number as a dinosaur and a was a princess for her ballet routine. Lucy was fantastic!

Lucy has loved dancing this year and has improved so much. She was awarded preschool dancer of the year!

The boys were so cute with her afterwards. They hugged her and told her she was great. It might have been my favorite moment of the night.
