Fun in the sun!

Allie is so brave in the water and a celebrity here at the Stuart Woods apts.! We swim most days and with the same people most days! As soon as we walk in Allie begins waving starting with the life guard and then walks around as everyone says "Hi Allie!". Then she will pick someone to tell some random story to before throwing all of her pool toys in, (even when she can't reach them, and there is no one in to get them) jump on the step, get out, and then come and ask me for whatever snack she saw me pack for the day!Here are some of the fun picts.!

 The people here are so friendly and fun here in Herndon, VA! It is very refreshing after the cold, alternative life style living in Towson, MA. There were some friendly people there too, but not many.

Wiser Family

I just realized  that I hardly have any pict. of Zach's side on here recently. I want them to know how truly grateful for everything they have done for us and how much we miss and love them!

They are great grandparents and I wish they would move closer! These picts were a few of my fav.!

* My mother-in law Gail won't let people take picts. so they are scarce! Not sure why though!

Bye Bye Baltimore!

On sunday we moved yet again to Herndon, VA.  We wanted to separate ourselves from some bad situations in Baltimore and feel that it was for the best that we join this office that will cover the same areas as last summer! It was so much work but we are mostly moved in now on the third floor, (no elevator this time!) and while the apt. its self isn't as nice there are trees, two playgrounds, a kid-friendly pool, a river, walking paths, and less chaos! Poor Allie though! She asked me today if we could go home. I asked her where, and she said to where her new friend Linley was in Baltimore! She is so confused! 

These are a few picts. of the pond that was across the street from where we lived in Baltimore where we spent a sunday feeding the fish!

Three months?

Three months?

What? Today Leah is three months old! Can't believe it! She is so sweet and getting big so fast! She is definately more petite than most babies and is just barely switching to 0-3 size- (finally, I was bored with the nb clothes!) Don't worry though she holds her head up great and has four teeth showing through already - (Yeah not sure what that's about!) Her favorite thing - Mom!

I thought I would just show some picts. for family so enjoy!

Reunited!

We were so excited to meet up with some of the friends from last summer! We went to the colonial farm just outside the CIA headquarters and then to a park with the coolest playground i've ever seen! Allie was so happy to play with her little buddies again!

Seriously though if you are ever here for very long you should check out this playground!

Having a busy two year old can be exhausting- especially when you just had another child. So for the summer I decided to schedule different days with different activities here in Towson. One of the days we go to the library for the scheduled story time and to check out books. I decided to then pick another day of the week with a theme that matched a few of the books. So for instance we did a fairy theme. That day we read two very cute books by the same author,  The knot fairy and The sock fairy, played fairies, made a "magic wand" and dressed Allie up like one! She had so much fun and it was nice to do something different!
