Georgetown

I think Georgetown has been my favorite part of living in the DC area. It is so beautiful, history rich, and full of fun shopping.

Virginia Beach

We surprised our husbands with a trip to the coast this weekend, we got a hotel, had fun in the sand and swimming in the ocean, it was such a nice break. We are all burnt and tired and ready for a new week, such a fun weekend!

The Things that Summer Brings

We took a fun little trip to Alexandria with Rose and Hill and her friend Robin and saw lots of little shops all along brick sidewalks and charming homes. We found cute little pillowcases for a dollar and I made mine into a cute top for Mae.

Sleepy Head

While we were all running around Sunday morning getting ready for church . . . Mae got a quick nap.

iPotty

We started potty training Wes on Monday and he is doing so well! I would say he is pretty much trained except we haven't really left the house so I'm not sure how to do it all in an unfamiliar place. He is such a fast learner, toddlers are pretty bright. Wes likes to go around feeling if other people are "dry" and then giving them a treat, then I have to apologize and explain why he is trying to feel their underwear. So funny.

Eight

I can't believe she is eight months already! We love her so much! She has recently learned to sit up, sleep on her tummy, grow a little more hair, sort of feed herself cheerios, get quite feisty and loves to eat vegetables. This little dress is my first kids clothing project and it was so much fun to do, hopefully more to come this summer. Man, this picture sure shows off her trim little arms, she is so much fun to hug and kiss, I love it!




John got off work early on the fourth and we got to spend some time hanging out, going out to dinner and then downtown to the Lincoln Memorial fireworks show. Mabel cried and Wes loved it.

Food

Most of the time we eat one breakfast and three lunches everyday. Forget dinner. I think lunch is the perfect meal and John would choose to eat breakfast all day. Since John only eats breakfast with us we have a few more lunches and then John eats his own meal when he gets home from work late at night. So it can be really hard coming up with meal ideas for me and Wes to eat that is healthy and filling and most of all fast. I came up with this chart to reference so that I can be sure that we are eating well balanced meals. Lately my motivation to put more than two minutes into a meal is zero, so this has helped. Am I missing anything?
