Catch-up

We had a girls day at Hillwood.

Attack dogs?

Mommy had a booboo that got fixed, so Nickolas and Lucy made a "Welome Home Mom" sign after the hospital visit. Cousin Julie was an angel to help Grandma Julie.

Dog days of summer with popsicles.

Flora's Sitting Up!

With her coaches.

And now using the highchair. She's loving baby food, cereal and yogurt these days. Still won't take a bottle, of course.

Flora's Baptism

Flora had a beautiful baptism at Annunciation Catholic Church in Washington DC. Sue and Wayne are her Godparents (as well as Lucy's) and we had a lovely day celebrating. Flora wore the same dress Lucy wore made from the material of their Great-Grandmother Felicia's wedding dress circa 1947.

The festivities with food and cake and cousins.

Boat Ride on the Potomac

We took a water taxi ride roundtrip from Old Town Alexandria, VA up the Potomac to Georgetown in DC.

First Day/Last Day

My, what a difference a school year makes! Both Nickolas and Lucy thrived and loved every day of preschool this past year. We hope all of their friends have a happy and safe summer. We look forward to the fall when Nickolas enters Pre-K four days a week and Lucy enters the 2s class two days a week. THANK YOU Miss Jeanine, Miss Hula, Miss Joanne, and Miss Karen!

Back in September on their first day...

And, now we have Flora! She's looking forward to the 2012-2013 school year.

And, every morning, our shoes somehow end up on the wrong feet.
