The Hunt....

just some cute pics from a little Easter egg hunt....

I love Brixton's look of pure joy, and Damon's look of sweet brotherly love

shaking up his eggs!

I love this one.

sweet B

Damon was on spring break, so he was the oldest kid there...he didn't mind. We had such a fun time! Thanks Chevy Chase girls for the invite!

AAWWHH.....

Damon was a little sad at the park today....but don't worry....his little brother was there to make it better. I just love these boys.

Lately we've had some....

play dates :)

major crashes (one in particular off of a railing, onto a concrete wall, ouch)

Sunday naps....

major rain storms....

sweet sweet snuggles....

jogs / bike rides / sore knees....(Damon's such a faker)

story time.

Hope you're all having a great April!

Skate Night!

Last weekend Damon's school had a "Skate Night" at the ice skating rink. Damon had never been ice skating before, and was a actually kind of nervous. He had been talking about it for over a month, and was so excited that his cute teacher was going to be there. All day long he was asking us questions about ice skating, and really wanted to know how to stop! It was hilarious. He had a rough start (first trying to learn in hockey skates) - that WAS NOT going very well, so we switched him to regular ice skates, and he did so much better. Here are just a couple of pictures that his teacher emailed me.

He now asks me everyday to take him ice skating. Typical.

Wizards!!!!!

Thanks to our super awesome friends, Shannon and her son Trey, I was able to take Damon to a Washington Wizards game. Shannon has got some major connections and got a bunch of tickets....So Shannon, Trey, Me, Damon, Rebecca, her son Miles, and two more little friends Pete, and Nick all headed downtown to the game.

Nick, Damon, Trey, Pete, and Miles

Yes. We got there early. After the total chaos of getting 5 hyper little boys from the parking garage into the arena...they actually totally behaved!

dinner. :)

we had some awesome seats. (Thanks Shan!)

dessert time....cotton candy, or dippin dots?

um..cotton candy please

mmmmmm....

If you can't tell...Damon was in total heaven the entire time.

Every mascot from every team in the DC area was at this game. Since the kids were some of the only little kids in the lower part of the arena, they got a lot of attention from them.

and yes...Damon might have punched George Washington in the crotch.

I think this is the mascot from the WNBA team...??

We had such a great time. Thanks again to our awesome friends for such a fun night! I finally got to be the "fun parent"!

p.s. they even actually won the game!

I love that.....

I LOVE THAT.....

....Damon was so excited for school this morning that he got his shoes on, brushed his teeth, put his jacket on, and was waiting at the door, without being asked!

.....I can turn around in my friends (sweet Karissa) car, and at any given moment...these two might just be holding hands.

....it's been warming up and we've actually been getting to the park

....these two love each other. Damon holds Brixton's hand all the time, just cause....

.....every once in a while, Damon can easily entertain himself.

....last week it was 68 degrees and we went to the zoo. (I love Brookey's little bum in this picture! )

Just lovin' stuff lately. That's all.

Next stop.... New Hampshire....

For the first time in a while....we have some very exciting news!!! Mike was accepted into the Dartmouth (Tuck) Class of 2013. This is a Masters of Business program that he has been wanting to get into for years. The timing never seemed to be right, and we found out yesterday that he was accepted. We are still a little in shock, and can't believe that it is real. We went up to visit the school a few years ago, and fell in love with the small town, right up in the mountains, right along the Connecticut River.

A little canoe trip while we were visiting Dartmouth....(2006)

I'm so proud of Mike, his hard work, and his determination to further his education. We'll move sometime this Summer....woo hoo!!!!!!!
