Visis from Lisa, Brian and AJ

After some late night adventures on the road (flat tire), Lisa, Brian and AJ arrived safely for their first visit with us in DC.

Megan opened her Valentine's gift from grandma and played with it while waiting for AJ to wake up in the morning. The cousins seemed very excited to see each other and spent a long time playing basketball and chasing each other around our apartment. For a couple of two year olds they played together pretty well- but thank goodness we had 2 balls.


In the afternoon, we took them to the playground. Megan showed AJ how to go down the tube slide. AJ went down with his daddy first but then had a great time going down by himself. They also enjoyed the teeter totter, sandbox and other slides.

Too Cute for words.
Later that night they played with Megan's doll house together. Here they are saying cheese for the camera.
No collection of photos would be complete without the bathtub shot. They had so many toys piled in the tub there was barely enough room to rinse them.
Playing on the bed after bathtime.
On the second day of the visit we took the subway to the national mall. We visited the Natural History and American History museums then had an early dinner at the Dubliner downtown before returning home to play a little more.


Here we are embarrasing David by taking pictures on the subway like a bunch of tourists.

We bundled up and walked down to the world war II memorial while we were waiting on the museums to open.

This is the picture of the six of us that Grandma Bonnie ordered.

Our first stop at the museum was the dinosours as always. Megan requested that we see the butterfly exhibit. We didn't have andy land on us this time.


I wish we lived closer so that we could visit together more often. We had a wonderful time and we miss you already.

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa braved the snow and ice about 10 days ago and came for a visit. We had a fun filled weekend hanging out at home, playing outside and going to some of the museums. Megan always enjoys having extra people around to entertain and play with her. We topped off the visit with a wonderful dinner at Carlyle- yummy.
Because its been so cold lately and we haven't been outside much, Daddy went out and got a basketball hoop so we can run off sum energy indoors. Daddy also braved the "pink" isle at the toystore and picked up a fairy outfit. Here's Megan enjoying both of her new acquisitions.
On the weekend we went to the American History Museum. We alternated more "adult" exhibits with the ones more suited for kids Just hangin out at home.
Grandma and Grandpa and Megan had an art festival at the kitchen table.



The dragon puppet from great aunt Barbie likes to chase Megand and eat Mommy's hair.
We miss you.
