Sibs

It's nearly impossible to get a shot of both kids looking at the camera... eureka!

Soccer Ball

Thought I'd balance out the magic wand blog post (can hear Jeremy's objection now!) with a shot of Noah enjoying a sports-related object.

Magic Wand

Noah is in his "transitional object" phase where he needs something in-hand when he leaves the house. He LOVES Lily's purple magic wand (a birthday day gift... thanks, Niki and Ava!) and she has been surprisingly great at letting him enjoy it. He will hang onto it for hours... when we run errands, he won't let it go even once we're home.

Noah is standing, exploring and even doing some assisted walking these days!

Noah's First Carousel Ride

This is an older video, but a fun one... we cannot walk or drive within 5 blocks of the Smithsonian carousel without Lily get super-excited and asking repeatedly for a ride. J. shot the video of the first time we let Noah join, too.

Mother's Day

After starting off the day with breakfast made by J and my little ones, we spent a lovely morning at Haines Point. Noah was a big fan of Lily's soccer ball...
Lily is working hard to master the new bike we got her for her birthday....On one of our favorite slides in DC...
Noah and I hung out while Lily and her daddy flew her kite... she joined us when she got tired. So relaxing just to sit in the grass and hang out.

Swimming "Cool"

Noah's big sister has been asking to get in her "swimming cool" for weeks. When the weather was warm enough, we gave in...

Picnic at Rock Creek Park

Time to catch up on the blog! This is from a few weeks ago when Noah helped my friend Ericka celebrate her 30th birthday... The cup is empty, by the way.
But it appears not to affect Noah's enjoyment

J's iPhone Downloads

Jeremy had some great photos on his iPhone that we wanted to share...

Mr. Determination... such an intense face!

Noah loves the swing as much as his big sister does.
