While she delights in knocking down sand castles, C is quite the drip castle architect.

Preschool for Two

This year both A & C will go to preschool two mornings a week. On the first day, A ran straight to his classroom and didn't look back (sniff, sniff). C, it being her very first time at preschool, was a little hesitant, but at pick-up time, we were told she had a fantastic day. Does a mommy's heart good to hear that.


How about a smile? Say "cheese".


Okay. I suppose this will have to do.

May-June 2010

Finally pictures of our May/June 2010. We took a short trip to Washington DC, where we visited the National Zoo one day and attempted to visit the National Museum of Natural History (before meltdowns ensued) the next day.
