Together Again

My Family came to visit us this week and to take in the sites and sounds of DC. We haven't seen my family for almost 6 months, so we are so excited to have them here. They arrived last Friday and will be here until next Monday. So we are trying to get in as much family time as we can. I would LOVE to visit the sites with them, but with Lilly taggin' along it would be, well... a nightmare. She screams when we make her stay in the stroller, and I really don't want to have to chase her down a busy road or lose her in a crowd of people.
On Saturday we went to Mount Vernon. It was gorgeous! Lilly especially loved spending time with her Uncles James and Brayden and was fascinated with the sheep, pigs and horses. We all had a great time!

Mad at Dad'n...trying really hard to listen


Lilly loved this horse...until he sneezed

"Now, tell me again Lilly, you saw what?!"

All the animals were a hit with this animal lover

I can't believe how old your brothers are now! I'm so glad you are getting to spend time with your family. I know they are the only people you miss more than me.

Great pictures. Good times!

SO JEALOUS! I wish I could fly out right now! I love the pic of Lills trying to listen to Gus with an angry look on her face. Soooooo cute!

Looks like you are having a great time. Looks like Lilly has two new favorite people. We will see you on Wed.

I miss your soul. I've called you four hundred times. But don't worry, I forgot what I needed to say.

Hope you aren't pregnant.
