Addie and Daddy

As you can see from Addie's attire, Dad was in charge tonight. Lob went to hang out with her friend Jill, so Dad and Addie had a good time hanging out. Hashie and John came over for a visit. Problem is, Addie didn't want to go to bed, and when she did, she kept asking, "Mommy? Mommy?". 

My New Favorite Gammie Blanket!

I love my new blanket from Gammie! Here are some more photos!  

Addie's Inaugural Krispy Kreme run

Nats New Stadium

 

When the lady took a nap, Dad ventured down to Nationals Stadium to take a few pictures w/ the new camera..

(Note that I accidentally had the super-up-close auto setting on which is normally used to take close-ups of flowers, so these could probably a bit crisper if I knew what I was doing.)

Wearing my Sunday dress with Mom (and with my "dot" shoes)

Cute picture, huh? It only took about 25 attempts to get a decent one. Here are the other "takes". Lesson: don't try to take pictures right before lunch.

Hat Head

 

We took Addie to Gravely Point on Saturday to watch the planes take off and play around with our new Nikon D60. Having picked out her own attire, Addie was highly uncoordinated: pink polka dot shoes, green stripes on her shirt, and a Carolina blue hat that she got from Hashie and John. She had fun, so we did too.

New Shoes

Doesn't get much better than this

Watching Duke lose and sharing a bowl of peach ice cream with Addie while relaxing comfortably in my new leather recliner....priceless.

Cool things happening

Next week Lob and I are going to the Hungarian Embassy to hear Mendelssohn (thanks for the recommendation, Jack!).*


*provided that we can secure a babysitter.

Here are some pictures that Rachel sent from graduation last year. (Thanks Rachel!)

Our Peeps

We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to see Doug and Rachel this weekend and to share some good times. The kite festival was lovely. Also, we got to hang with Mark, Julie, Elise, and Evan. Here are E&E getting pumped for the Heels!

P.S. Here is where Dr. Gka-Gka is going to work, effective Monday. Congrats!
