Graham's home!!!!!

Not enough exclamation marks to express my happiness. ;)
Really no words, it is great to have him home!


Welcome home sign by izzy and mom. Picture project to left, by shell;)


Ice cream, cherry dipped cones our favorite!


Enjoying a weekend at home ( with hurricane Irene). Bodes loves stringing beads. He will periodically look at g and say "dada" and go for a hug. Priceless!!


Hugs! Dance parties, tackling, also favorite activities with dad this weekend.


Watching movies...silly faces!


Smile everyone!( of course izzy minus clothes, an up hill battle trying to keep clothes on that girl);)

Welcome home babe!

Good neighbors=good times

We are so blessed to have great neighbors. Sofia and Felipe, and Nancy, viet, and bao. Here are a few pics from movie night at our house and all the kids. A rare moment when they are quiet and not fighting, lol. Definitely needed to snap pics. Moms behind the scene having a glass of wine and preparing to defuse the fights that may arise ;)

Girls day!

I took a day off to spend some time with iz. We had a blast. Went to art museum, threw many pennies into fountains, had lunch together and rode the metro! We finished the day off with some ice cream and some park time ;) we were both exhausted when we got home!! Im excited for more fun dates together and similar one with bodes! Here are a few pics from our day. Highlight for iz would be making a wish and throwing pennies in the fountain, we saw 4 through the day!;)



Art museum! Iz liked the little girl paintings.


Fountain #1, ;)


Snack time!


Love this! Will be printing to frame! Rarely get a good pic with toddler ;)


Moving walkway-also a hit'


Book on how to draw animals, from gift shop


Another wish!


Lunch!


Collecting rocks from the
national mall ;)


Last stop=pinkberry for yogurt! ( my favorite!)

North beach, md

A few pics from our short trip to a beach about an hour from us. A few good minutes of beach play followed by bodie trying to continually run into the water and screeching because I wouldn't let him ( plus a sign up saying bacteria water counts too high for recreational use) , iz wanted a snack but nothing that I brought, $16 fee to use the beach, and a lady telling me she felt really sorry for me, ( thanks my husbands out of town-i sarcastically yelled back) and we were on our way back to home sweet home.

A few good moments, all worth it. But still exhausting ;)

Library, starbucks, pool, oh my!

A day of outings...


Stroller looking a little sad;(


Bodes at the library...loves pulling books out and the rocking chairs. Just started showing interest in "big kid books" listening to the stories without needing flaps to open- lol


Iz practicing her balance beam outside Starbucks


Peek a boo game


I see you...


Then to the baby pool, one of our favorite summer spots this year-snack on our towel during break time


Tired, but not napping ;)

Easter bonnet

Iz loves the show max and ruby ( bossy older sister bunny and little brother bunny lol) and wanted to make an Easter bonnet/ helping hands wreath(another craft from tv show) , so today we crafted this masterpiece...showing pictures of things she helps with around the house and real flowers she picked outside, ;)...

Trying to put on shoes

Bodes trying to figure out how to get Iz's shoes on. You can hear him say "shoes" and at the end something like "paypa" when he finds his Paci stash on the end table ;)
