Summertime

Well, it's summertime. And here, that means finding ways to beat the heat. One of Iggy's favorite ways to beat the heat is to set up shop on the pool deck at Tio Bruce's.

When not lounging poolside, Imogen dawns her new life vest, and ventures into the pool. Sunscreen (check). Hat (check). Good looks (double check!).


When Cordelia is beating the heat, she has a more laid back approach. Simply find some air conditioning, and a view, and let the rest of the world come to her. I envy her style.


Imogen on the other hand, will seek out anybody who will swim with her (which is good for her parents in that they don't have to always be in the water with her, but bad for her parents in that she will swim off with ANYONE - these are two strangers - ahahaha just kidding, that's Allison and Kari Cunard!)


When not at Tio Bruce and Tia Allison's house, we make do with our little crab pool in the front yard.


May not be as big or deep, but still pretty fun!

Leave suggestions for ways to beat the heat this summer in the comments section! Enjoy the hot weather!

Pops Comes to Visit

This past week/weekend, Pops came to visit the DC Bodgers. Cordelia loved meeting him for the first time and Imogen absolutely adored the time she spent with her gramps. Thanks for trekking out here to see us. We all had a blast with you!!!

Dilly and Pops' first meeting.

It was such a hot and muggy day that we decided to head to the "Newseum" to get some knowledge.

Jed wearing Dilly. Don't judge the Moby Wrap technique, it worked for us that day.

On Friday, we headed to The Yards park on the Potomac to play in the water and listen to some reggae.

Iggy loving the lift Pops gave her.

And checking out the trapeze school.

A little reprieve from the heat. Iggy was not so sure of it at first but after a while we couldn't get her out of it.

The only thing that got her out of that water was the bubbles that the little kids were blowing along the water.

Pops listening to some of the music.

Soaking wet and loving life.

On Saturday, we headed to Harper's Ferry for a history lesson on the Civil War.

Dilly snug as a bug and loving being carried by Tiff.

Learning stuff

Views from town.

We decided Iggy needed a break from all the knowledge she was gathering.

Thanks for coming out to visit, Pops. We had a great time with you!!!

Cordelia's First Month Photo Shoot

Look at this family. Too freaking cute. Well, if you cut dad out of the picture, and have little cordelia with her back to the photo and a hat on, and if Iggy has three fingers in her mouth, and mom is cut off in the frame ... ok, well, it's a family that tries, and is much cuter in person!

In this post we shall address the first month of life of Cordelia June Bodger. As we did with the previous child, we will be going to local monuments each month to record her growth, and track all that is happening in her life. This month (much like Imogen's first month) we headed to the US Capitol. Not a monument, per se, but our favorite buliding in the city.


Here's a good picture of the family, except that Jed's fat head is blocking the view of the Capitol. Strike one.

Here's another picture of hte family, except that Jed forgot to zoom out the camera before he tried to take the picture. Strike 2.

Here's Tiffany and Dilly. A hit!

Photobombing a quincenieria (sp?). So, for those of you that don't know what photo-bombing is, you find some other group of people taking what you think are outrageously hilarious pictures, and you try to get into the photo, and record a photo for yourself. Here we are trying to photo bomb the pink dress and white tux. Awesome.

Jed and iggy photobombing!

bwahahahahahahahaha.

Best of the bunch.

Two is really the most photogenic of the whole family. Bitch.

Iggy, screaming, and holding up the capitol. YAY!~ Ugh.

Dilly screaming at the Capitol. YAY!~ Ugh.









So, that was our day at the Capitol tracking the progress of our growing family. Below are some random videos to check out at your lesiure. Enjoy!

love jed, tiff, imogen, and cordelia.
