The PACE Babies Grow Up

For more than 12 years, this crew of moms and kids have enjoyed time together at least annually after bonding in the very early days. Though they’re somewhat spread out over the DC area now, there’s an instant connection when food, video games and great fall weather come into play. Here’s to many more!

Eight is Great!

Not to be upstaged by his brother’s birthday, Owen had his own fun to celebrate turning eight! He had his “party” at DC United to watch the last match of the season, and had fun hanging with family on the big day.

A 12th to Remember

Colin went all out from dawn to dusk (and beyond) for his 12th birthday. He kicked off the day with a favorite breakfast and doughnuts in home room, and then got home from school to go to the movies and out to dinner with friends. A great day!

A Night at the Museum

Some of us had a different adventure this summer by staying late at the Museum of Natural History with a friend. There were exhibits, demonstrations, challenges and more – all well after some of our bedtimes. That made it all the more fun!

Kings at Kings Dominion

An impromptu invite to Kings Dominion had family and friends head south to enjoy a beautiful spring day. Kiddie rides were conquered, games played and treats consumed – everything we expected and more!
