Davy does the pool

I'm on a roll about the beach... For such a short stay we had a great time!! Davy loves the pool almost as much as he loves his Dad and big brother, Harry!

Harry at the beach...

I wouldn't normally write a second entry about the same subject, but Harry really enjoyed the beach this year. He wasn't really excited about the sand and surf until he got down there and dipped his foot in with Daddy. He loved it and the pics show it!

Happy Birthday - Subir, Alicia & Uncle Sam and celebrating at VA Beach!

We celebrated Subir's Birthday on July 2nd, Alicia's on July 3rd and Uncle Sam's on July 4th. This was our quick Summer vacation. Found a great hotel, Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort in VA Beach on 39th Street. They had two indoor pools, one with a lazy river. The outdoor pool was huge and right on the Ocean. Davy didn't want to go on the beach, but talked him into it by day 3, and July 4th. We spent the morning of the 4th at the VA Aquarium with Alicia. The night before I went out with the girls to celebrate A's birthday at a cool inlet bar. The boys dropped me off and went to see Ice Age II. A great time and we stopped at Sissy's on the way home for Jimmy's 8th birthday party. It was a very full weekend.

David's Kiddie Country Final Spring Program

David performed like a pro! The pictures tell it all. It was a bit sad knowing it was our last Kiddie Country Spring Program. It's been 5 consecutive years, we will miss it next June, but not the tuition payments!

From a Wolf to a Bear

Harry rose to the rank of Bear in the Cub Scouts this weekend. We had a great potluck supper and the boys had a fantastic time playing outside. At one point we lost David, who decided he could go to the pond on his own. He won't be doing that for a while... Congrats, Harry!

Mother's Day - A lovely day in May

We had an awesome Mother's Day with the Brookes-Weiss family. I saw an ad for the restaurant, Indigo's Landing, and we decided to all go for Mother's Day Brunch. We started with a walk along the river in Olde Town Alexandria, including boarding an old ship. We had a lovely brunch at Indigo's Landing, including live music and a lovely river view. It was a great way to spend Mother's Day!

OPENING DAY! Let's go NATIONALS!!

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME... We had an awesome day at National's Park to watch the Nat's open their season with the Phillies. We had awesome seats behind the Nats dugout, and directly behind the camera and photo booth. We even got a little sprinkle of powder when Abe decided to pull a LeBron during the President's race. And, with the new lens Subir got me for X-mas, we both had fun taking close ups of the players. We all had hot dogs, peanuts and popcorn. Dad had a beer, and taught Harry to keep score. And, check out the new "Teenage" Screetch. I know he sure dances like one! The game was intense with a chance for the Nat's to pull it out in the 9th. Zimmerman hits a two run homer with no outs. Unfortunately, the rest of the bats were not as hot. The final score was 9-8 Phillies.
