Super Toddler to the Rescue!

Good-bye, So-long, Farewell My Friends...

All within 10 days we are moving and two of our good friends and neighbors are moving too. One of our neighbors is moving to our new neighborhood, which is so exciting. But one of our neighbors is moving to North Carolina :( While we're excited to visit with them on our way to Grandma and Grandpa's house, we're so sad to see them go. Christy, Vincent, Ava, Magnus, and Roald (well, almost Roald) just moved to our neighborhood 18 months ago, but in that short time they have become our very good friends. We will miss our family gatherings and impromptu playdates on the sidewalk, tennis courts, grassy common area, and at each others houses. Thank you for being such wonderful neighbors! We will miss you so!

Ava (6), Roald (15 mo.), Magnus (5), Abby (22 mo.), Anna (3)

As we sing in music class,

Good-bye, so long, farewell my friends.
Good-bye, so long, farewell.
We'll see you soon again, my friends, and we'll play together again :)

Nana visits & Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today Daddy turns 34! We had a small celebration tonight, but did most of our celebrating last week when Nana was visiting. Matt & I went out to eat at our new favorite restaurant, Chef Geoff's one night and we had a little party with Nana and the 4 of us another night.

making the cake!

yum!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Also while Nana was in town we had a special sushi dinner, went to Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore, and had a lot of fun playing around the house and at indoor and outdoor playgrounds. Thanks for a great visit, Nana!

Grandma & Grandpa visit!

Last week Grandma and Grandpa came to visit! We had a great time going out to eat and playing around the house and outside. We also got a couple projects done for the move.

Thanks for the great visit, Grandma & Grandpa!

January/February update

Matt retrieved our camera cord from one of the packed boxes so we could share some pictures from the past few months:
