Long Hair

Our Katherine has long curly locks, this is what happens when they get wet....

No haircut anytime soon.. so please do not suggest :-)

Cruising on the Chesapeake

We enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend with some good friends! Robin, Mike and Ryleigh took us on a wonderful "cruise" on the Chesapeake Bay. This was Katherine's first trip on a boat and on open water and boy did she love it! Her hat lasted about 5 minutes, she needed to let the wind through her hair!

Nothing like a relaxing boat ride to put our baby to sleep!

Our wonderful hosts, Robin and Ryleigh.

The 3 Musketeers! Ryleigh, Graham and Katherine post boat nap, ready to play!

Happy 21st Birthday Adda!

9 Year Wedding Anniversary!

This week Donna and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary. This one was extra special because we enjoyed it with Katherine. In addition to our wedding anniversary, August 19th was also Katherine's 7 month birthday.

This weekend we also enjoyed time with several friends. Friday we were entertained at a Japanese Steak House in Alexandria with two family's from Donna's mom's group(Suzanne/Peter/baby Graham and Robin/Mike/baby Ryleigh). Katherine enjoyed watching the "master chef" make big fires and flirting with baby Graham. Later that evening we had coffee and cupcakes with Eva and Taylor (former pole vaulters at TC Williams). This evening we had a great dinner with Dave/Melanie/Tallula/baby Beckett. We are blessed to spend time with such great friends and their little munchkins.

Belated 6 Months!

New York, New York

We spent an exciting weekend in NYC with Eric and Whitney. At the last minute, Christina decided to join us for the trip. We strolled around Central Park, shopped at the best toy stores, and ate yummy food. Here's a few pictures from Katherine's first trip to the big city.

Whitney convinced us to go to American Girl Place to look at dolls, we got Katherine a Bitty Baby...and Christina found a new friend

Thanks everyone for making Katherine's first trip to NYC so much fun!

Rubber Ducky, you're the one!

Bath time is so much fun. Katherine loves to splash and play with her little floating friends. Mommy is the chief bath giver.



Yum, I love Miss Ducky
