On the High Seas

While we’ve covered our pirate themed adventures before, we have yet to capture time as pirates closer to home. It was our second trip on the Potomac, and even better as O was able to experience all the fun. Here are some of the highlights!

The Graduate

It’s so hard to believe, but Colin’s time at daycare is soon coming to an end. What began in Infant Class 2 will end in K-Prep with Ms. Jen, Mr. Rafi and Ms. Leandra in August. But before summer camp began in full swing, we celebrated graduation season with a night honoring the soon-to-be-Kindergartners.

Fiesta 5K in 2018

For the 5th year in a row, we’ve had the opportunity to participate in the Fiesta 5K to support the Johns Hopkins Packard Center for ALS research. Colin was in a competitive mood and determined to finish first for Team Big Walt and Mike (he succeeded with a time of 48 minutes and 31 seconds)….

On the Move!!

Well, it finally happened! After weeks of standing and the occasional step, Owen finally figured out how to put one foot in front of the other. Heaven help us!

Crazy hair no more!

We waited six months, but the crazy hair that had accumulated on Owen’s head had to finally be tamed. He was the perfect customer, so we hope our good luck continues! Oddly, Colin was the one rewarded for the occasion, with a Happy Meal for lunch followed by donuts!

Out for a Stroll

A few months into Owen’s school adventures, we finally received our first “What in the World” newsletter. WITW’s are are daily (in theory) recaps of what happened in class. This WITW featured Owen and his friends going for a walk outside. Owen definitely seemed to enjoy himself! From the WITW: Today our friends went on…

Halloween 2016

Halloween was a lot crazier than last year, with the arrival of Owen just a few days before and a very motivated pair of four-year-olds to wrangle during a sprint for candy on Halloween night. We wouldn’t have had it any other way!
