  • Front yard playing

    We didn’t have time to go to the pool so we thought we would switch it up and play in the front yard with the sprinkler and our water table – aka, the poor mans pool.

  • Picnic at the Reston Town Center

    A few months ago the weather was beautiful outside and not quite too hot yet.  That seems so long ago.  We went on a picnic outside at the Reston Town Center to take advantage of the beautiful weather and to get the kiddos (and mommy) outside.  That’s Parker in the sling!   

  • Skylar the entertainer

  • Lexington – Horace’s Birthday

    We went to Lexington to celebrate Pappa D’s birthday. It was a really fun event and I may have had one more glass of wine than I should have. Skylar enjoyed seeing her cousins, and Parker got the privilege of being adopted by Ryland for a night!

    Here is the 60 second spot that we submitted:

  • Ballerina

    We won a free month of ballet lessons for Skylar at one of the Reston events we attended.  Skylar is quite the dancer, although sometimes she moves to her own beat…

  • Skylar and Parker Posing at RTC

    This looks like a really sweet older sister hugging her brother, however… this was a microsecond in time just before Skylar did her “what happens if I shake this tiny being” tug and push.

  • Walking Taco

    Generally I take Taco for walks outside, but I guess there’s nothing wrong with an indoor stroll:
