Capitol Tour

We squeezed in a Capitol tour before the cousins headed back to OH.  We also got a private tour of the Senate Judiciary hearing room from our (fancy & important) friend Jeremy!

Post-Birthday Fun with Family

Look at all the fun we had the day after Julian's birthday party!  


The whole family went to the Native American Museum, where we played with boats, snowshoes, and more.



We also had a walk with GoGo in the morning...


...and an egg hunt and backyard bbq with the Lesmerises family at night.

Julian's Birthday Party

Julian hosted lots of family and his neighborhood friends for his 2nd birthday party on April 28th.  First, GoGo and Zayda arrived, bringing a tow truck - hooray!

Then, Kyra and Daria, and Uncle Doug and Aunt Katie, arrived all the way from Ohio!  The girls picked out presents for Julian themselves, including a (noisy!) fire truck and a helicopter.

Guess what the party theme was?

Julian, not a fan of cake or icing, decided to focus on the watermelon (while his friends made a made rush for the Elmo cake.)

He thought the party favors were hilarious.
It was a great day!  Happy Birthday to our precious boy!

Julian Turns Two!

April 27th was Julian's 2nd birthday, and it was a fun day!   Mommy and Daddy bought him a pop-up tube-and-tent, which was set up in the living room when he came downstairs in the morning.


After he played for a little while, he had a pancake breakfast.  Next it was off to day care, where he brought in a birthday treat (Rice Krispie bars), got his face painted for field day, and had a birthday crown.


At home, he opened more presents, including his beloved garbage trucks (two of them!) and welcomed Grandma and Pop-Pop.   He showed off his big-boy skills by blowing out his birthday candles on the first try.  Then it was off for a good night's sleep, before his big PARTY the next day!
