New portrait

Seriously, could this kid get any cuter? I mean really she's adorable. (I recognize I am a little biased, but you have to give me that this is a cute picture).

Happy (early) Father's Day

Since Father's Day is three days before my due date, it seemed unfair to wait till then to celebrate Father's Day. Besides, it was a GORGEOUS day and the Nationals were playing yesterday. While we didn't really need an excuse to go to a game, it was a fun way to celebrate an early Father's Day. There were three home runs and the Nationals won. Hooray! Caroline's favorite part was the music and she had a great time dancing in front of ER chair and clapping at all appropriate times.

Fun friends

We are so excite that our good friends are moving closer to us (from 15 minutes away to 3 minutes away). Yesterday their two kids came and played at our house while their mom did all of the things moms need to do between closing on an existing house and closing on the new one. They had a blast getting as dirty as possible in the sand at the playground, running around the house and putting baby dolls to bed. The funniest part was listening to them sing songs where each of them would get an occasional word wrong (hosanna in the skyest is Caroline's favorite) and then correct each other.

Grandma and Grandpa

We had a lovely weekend with Kerry and Barbara visiting us. Caroline was particularly pleased to have someone fun and new to talk to and show all of her treasures. She had books read to her and had a grand time playing with magnetic "paper" dolls. Of course, the highlight for her, however, was getting to go out and get ice cream on Thursday night. Kerry and Barbara took us to a local favorite--the Evening Star Cafe. That was fine with Caroline but the chocolate ice cream afterwards at the Dairy Godmother was WAY more exciting. Last night she reminded Grandpa how to play Candy Land as well. What fun!

Here are a few pictures.

Yummy

Yesterday I had the day off, so Caroline and I made some cupcakes. I cleaned the kitchen earlier in the morning--I don't know what I was thinking. The kitchen was quite the disaster after our cooking fun, but hey the cupcakes taste good and we had fun. Caroline was particularly excited about being allowed to lick some of the beater for the icing. (I was smart enough to do this at 10:30 so the sugar wore off by nap time).
