Washington, DC - Father's Day

We went to Washington, DC to visit Kapil/Nidhi and Alyssa/Mark/Talon over Father's Day weekend. Alyssa took us to a cute farm near Ellicott City.

Sleeping babies

Love these sweet babies!! I love how Evan has his kitty and puppy right by his face. Kate is sleeping in Evan's room tonight because Will is painting her room. Evan didn't want her in his bed, so she is on the air mattress on the floor. He even told her that he had rules. "No talking because I'm going to sleep." And they both did.

Spring Days

We enjoyed an afternoon at Pullen Park, riding the paddle boats! Mommy got quite a workout in!

 Lunch at Moonlight Pizza with the princesses

 And a rocket ship

Chalk

Evan and Kate rediscovered chalk again and spent the afternoon drawing on our driveway. Lots of drawings!

 Evan practiced writing his name.

Makeup

Somebody thought it would be fun to get into Mommy's makeup! Looks like she needs to figure out how to use mascara...

 And don't eat the blush!! Yuck.

Swim Lessons

Kate and Evan started swim lessons this week through Raleigh Parks and Rec. They are the only ones signed up for this time slot, which is awesome because they get a LOT of attention! I'm hoping by this summer that they'll be able to jump in and swim to the side of the pool with no help.
