Wow. Have you ever tried to rebuild a house? Daunting. Have you ever tried to do it with two small kiddos? Now things are getting interesting!

Packing up and moving on (tear).

On February 25, we left our beloved house on Capitol Hill and said farewell to D.C. Despite all it's short-comings (i.e. Quirks), this little house captured our hearts and our imagination from the first time we saw it. May it be passed on to another family who appreciates it and sees what it is and what it can be.

Dilly's ten month anniversary

Dilly turned 10 months old back on March 5 and to commemorate the occassion we headed to the Korean War Memorial (as we did with Imogen). The day started out sunny so we decided to that taking the girls for a run would be fun. We learned a few things that day: (i) 20 minutes into the run it would start to rain and wouldn't stop until we got home, (ii) you should also run with your metro pass and/or your wallet; (iii) the total distance ended up being a little more than 7 miles; and (iv) were are grossly out of shape. At any rate, we got our pictures. I included a few other random pictures of Dilly taken around her 10 month bday.

Lulu and Pops' Come to Visit

Life got hectic and we stopped making any kind of post on the blog. But, in an attempt to catch up (at least a bit). Here are some photos from Thanksgiving, when Lulu and Pops came to visit us.
































Dilly loved watching the toy trains go round and round.







Some of the stops along the toy trains' routes.










Loved the pointsettias.








Imogen was so excited to see the trains and then fell asleep and slept through the entire visit to the Botanical Gardens.

Family Hockey Night

Our ability to head to a Caps game is quickly coming to a end and we wanted to introduced Dilly to some live Caps love before we left. She seemed to dig the headphones and watching all the new sights. Her older sister on the other hand didn't seem as excited, especially when she was required to sit still on Dad's lap.
