A movie with Grandpa

Taken yesterday afternoon:

Memorial Day Weekend, Part II

On Sunday night, SJC, Anna, and I went to Viva Vienna, the annual town fair/carnival, which takes place in downtown Vienna on the town green. Sarah wanted to ride the freefall, and since we didn't want to take Anna out of the Baby Bjorn, Anna got to ride it too! Here are some pictures:

Loading into the cart!

Wow is that a tall drop!

Down they come!

Ok, so they didn't actually ride the Super Shot. But we had a great time at the carnival!

Memorial Day Weekend, Part I

We had a big Memorial Day weekend. Dad had Friday off from work, so we got to spend a lot of time together as a family. The Sherwin family came to visit us on Saturday, giving us the opportunity to observe a full scale circus of kids.

Kate, Thomas, Gabe, Steve

On Sunday, we took Anna to church for the first time. She was so well-behaved!

Anna in her Sunday-best!

A Study in Bananas

Heading off to church, Sunday morning:

TIme for a tubby!

Last night, we gave Anna her first bath that wasn't a sponge-bath. She loved it!

Mommy works intently

I hope you know what you're doing!



Doesn't get cuter than this!

Uh-oh, is someone peeing in the tub? Better
make a quick exit and end this bathtime!

All dried off!

A week with Nana

So, Nana left yesterday afternoon. Needless to say, everyone was sad. But we had a great week. Nana gave Anna lots of snuggle time, and went on trips with her to the stores, and went out for ice cream, and made Mom and Dad great dinners, and did lots of cleaning too. Anna and Nana also did some comparison shopping of bouncy-seats at Babies R' US (pictures coming soon!).

We can't wait for her to come back! Our only fear now is that Anna has gotten spoiled by all the holds and attentions from the last two weeks. Back to just boring old Mom and Dad!

Holding a sack of potatos!

Out in DC

Thanks, Nana!

Transporting Minors Across State Lines

SJC, Nana, and Anna came into Washington today to have lunch downtown with Dad. It was Anna's first trip out of the Old Dominion, surely an important moment in the upbrininging of any proper southern belle.
