DC - Day 3

One day 3, we were up bright and early again to get to the Capitol for our tour.  This was probably not the kids favorite, but we were all impressed and inspired none the less.  The fun started for the kids when we hit the Building Museum.  They had a Lego room that the kids would have stayed in all day had we let them.  We actually didn't get to see the rest of the museum because Richie melted down when he had to leave the Lego's.  So we instead went straight to lunch.

After lunch the kids hit the stroller for nap time and the adults split up.  Chris went straight back to the Building Museum and the girls went to the National Portrait Gallery and the American Art Museum.  All 3 were again voted winners!  After nap we told the kids we were going to go to the Zoo, but after 3 full days we were just too exhausted.

All in all a great vacation!  We won't soon forget all of our fun activities.  We learned so much and the only thing we paid for were the Lego and butterfly exhibits.  Thanks Joanna for letting us stay at your house and showing us such a good time. 








BYE BYE DC!  We hope to be back again soon.

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
