February, March, April Update

Late February School was closed for a couple days due to snow. Actually it was a little rediculous- it was only four to six inches of snow but school was closed for two days and started late on the third. Anyway Megan had a great time playing out in the snow both on our balcony and in the common area. When the snow started to melt we actually went out and made 2 foot tall snowman, but I didn't have the camera with me.
Just goofing around.

Megan did this spontaneously, I'm not sure I even knew I was pregnant at the time.

In March we took a trip to New York to visit Chagun Ohma and Chagun Ahpa. We had a wonderful visit as always although I'm afraid we wore auntie Seung-a out a bit. Here they are resting after chasing Megan around the Children's Museaum of Manhattan.

I loved the giant Lite Brite and Megan kind of liked it too.

David and I took shameless advantage of our long suffering sister-in-law and took in both a Broadway show (Billy Elliot- highly recommended!!!) and the Daily Show(Which was Thanks again Chagun Ohma!

No visit to New York with a toddler would be complete without a visit to FAO Schwartz. Megan was enthralled with the Barbie fashion show.

The giant piano was also fun.

Dinner out with mommy and daddy.

We packed alot into our visit, including a trip to the Bronx Zoo.

Of course we stopped at the carousel.

Daddy took Megan out for a walk one morning so I could sleep in. Love you honey.

Great Aunt Barbie was in town for a conference and we were able to meat for dinner before heading to the National Mall to see the WWII memorial. Sadly David was not feeling well and couldn't join us. On Easter (April now) Megan and I made a quick trip to Ohio. It was wonderful seeing some of mom's family. Megan enjoyed painting and dying easter eggs. All the cracked shell just made the deviled eggs extra coloful for Easter dinner. It was cute watching Megan try to carry all of her Easter baskets at once. She must have spent an hour sorting eggs from one basket to another.

Megan's first Easter egg hunt. (Well ok maybe the second, I think they had one at school, but I missed that one and I'm pretty sure we didn't have one last year.) Of course the only picture I took Megan has her eyes closed.

AJ hunting eggs.

Here are the juvenile delinquents who engaged in an extended plastic easter egg fight on the front lawn after the kids finished their egg hunt. I would have joined in but I'd been sick and it was cold out there.Megan played Angel with grandpa. This was a close as we could get to getting a picture of the two of them with grandma. On a rainy day we took off for Chuck E Cheese for greasy pizza and kiddie games. The horse ride and the roller coaster simulator(next photo) were the biggest hits.

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.
