Return to the White House

After more than six years, we made a return to the White House – and this time we went inside! We got to see several areas of the East Wing, including the China Room, State Dining Room and the famous Red, Blue and Green Rooms. We held it together, until the group picture, so a…

The Arlington Dodgers

After a winter rest, it was back on the baseball field for another season of our nation’s pastime. The Dodgers played with a lot of heart. The boys grew closer and had a lot of fun, celebrating a few wins and some flashes of brilliance throughout the season.

Spring Soccer Season

Another soccer season was in the books, with O and his team improving each and every week. O scored a goal in both his first and last games of the spring, speeding across the field to go for the goal or defend his team. Here are highlights from his final game…

A Foodie Weekend

We took full advantage of the yummy food scene during our Memorial Day Weekend in the Raleigh area. While BBQ was the focus, we sought out some special treats like chocolate, ice cream and steak!

A Birthday Long Weekend

Brian’s birthday then turned into Memorial Day Weekend, which was colder and rainier than anticipated – though it didn’t damper plans or spirits! We got out into nature, braved the heated pool and explored fun new spots in the Raleigh area.

Beautiful Baseball Day

We took a break as little league spectators and leveled up to the MLB with a beautiful day at Nats Park. The Nationals emerged victorious with a win over the Tigers, and we managed to stay through the entire game as both boys were very into it. Hopefully we can catch another game again soon!

On the Run Again

After barely surviving our first Glebe 5K, we came back for more! Everyone beat their times from last year and had an easier time walking the next day – so victories all around!

Leaps of Faith

While we loved spending time in our resort, the best parts of a country tend to be outside resort walls. We weren’t wrong with a fun trip to Rick’s Cafe, known for its sunset views, tropical beverages and cliff jumping. We went during the day before the crowds descended and had one of the best…

Sesame Pals

It may be the last year one of us gets excited about it, but Owen was sure thrilled to spend time with Sesame Street pals during our Negril vacation. We caught nearly every show, and the big parade, plus our own character photo shoot!
