Sharpie Magic

Glad this one wasn't on my watch.

Pretty park evening

You wouldn't know that a terrible storm was about to hit...

A little break from naptime

A full(er) visit

Laura and Annali, our favorite Fullers, came to visit our city this weekend! We visited museums, took trains, caught a show, and just generally just loved getting to make new memories with old friends. Sometimes it takes having a guest in town to remind us what an awesome city we live in and I'm now inspired to do even more adventures this summer (when the weather permits).

Mini-Me

Yeah. We didn't even plan it this way.

Lily versus The Pizza

What happens when you try to make Lily stay put for a picture?

You don't.

Turns out that train/truck-loving runs in the family.

Cuddling' with my boys

They survived without us...

Jacob and Lily got to spend the weekend with Auntie Michelle (imagine part Betty Crocker, part Pipi Longstocking, part pin-up girl) while Mommy and Daddy skipped town for a wedding in Virginia.  Jacob, particularly, spent the first day trying to figure out how much trouble he could get into without his parents around, but once he realized that having a kindergarten teacher around was probably even MORE restrictive than his parents, he stopped testing and they settled into a very enjoyable weekend!  Despite the hot-hot-heat, they got to go to the Botanic Gardens and the Zoo and I was informed that there was pizza as well.

Michelle is amazing and we owe her a huge debt, although after this weekend I think it may be a little while longer before she decides to jump into the parenting pool so that we can pay back the babysitting. 

Playdate

Lily reaches new levels of grubbiness.

I swear Jacob was having fun, but boating wore him OUT!
