We’ve had LOTS of quality time just the four of us, and a LOT of time around the house and neighborhood. Thankfully, we have a great neighborhood park to help keep us sane when the cabin fever becomes too much!

Labor Day Not That Far Away
Though we had just been away at the beach, we figured one last hurrah before school started would be a nice time for just the four of us. We enjoyed being residents of DC for the long weekend, and planned our days around neighborhood walks and food!
