We love Mimi visits!

We're so glad that Mimi comes to help us when Daddy goes on trips! It was a beautiful spring day to share on the National Mall.

The Snow

No, there is no snow in DC here in June! I'm in the midst of catching up. So here we are back in January. The snow was disappointing to the boy who remembers the three feet of it last year and received a sled for Christmas, but it was a wonderfully heavy sticky snow. The snowballs and snowmen were great! And Drew was big enough this year to help Mr. Brian with the real snow blower! I think our snow family was the best gift we have ever shared with the neighborhood. Drew got lots of compliments on them, but their accessories had to come in at night on his insistence that they might be stolen. It was his Lightening McQueen hat after all.

Silly stuff

Time to catch you up on my super cuties! We had a good winter of having fun inside. I never get any pictures of all the hours we spend cuddled up together reading books. But here are some other favorites. Play Dough snakes may need a bigger table next year.Building with blocks has been growing on Evelyn... especially since she can knock down her own towers - but not brother's buildings!

And of course a box you can fit inside of - now that is fun!

Funny glasses are very important when you are going to the store to fill your cart with Matchbox cars.

Happy Valentine's Day

Thank you Caroline B for this sweet dress!

Someday I will get these two to look at me at the same time, but aren't they so cute anyway!

We took special Valentine treats to friends at church yesterday! Yummy!

Febuary already!?!?!

So my sister-in-law has reminded me that we actually have a blog! Thank you Teresa! So I'll post a few recent pics now and for the sake of the family I love - I will work on catching up a little since - gulp! - August when I last posted something.

Drew has become a trucker. He hauls the entire cast of Pixar's CARS around in Mac the 18-wheeler. We often talk about how we don't want to be like Chick Hicks (the cheater) and how we want to use our strength to help people - like Lightening McQueen.
