Opening Day

Ben scored tickets to the WTOP suite for the Nationals Season Opener against the Phillies on Monday afternoon. We decided to take Everett, thinking that he loved the games so much last year. Well, last year he was not mobile! This year, he is all over the place. He was tearing the suite apart, and to our surprise, we were the only people there who brought kids to the suite! Yikes. He was such a cute little man though and got so much attention (as he does everywhere)-- we never go anywhere without people commenting on his cheeks and his smile. That kid will melt your heart. Here are some pictures of our time at the game. We only got to see a few "at bats" because we were busy chasing Everett, but it was great to get out and spend the afternoon with my boys, I love them so much. Rollin of course was a gem the whole time :)

Easter 2009

We can hardly believe this is Everett's Second Easter! We spent the weekend down in Williamsburg, VA with his Grammy and Pap Pap and had a wonderful time. On the way down, we got to see Everett's friend Pierson Harris and his mommy Kristen, always nice to see them. In Williamsburg, Everett participated in a Easter Egg Hunt, went to see the Easter Bunny and got to see lots of animals in Colonial Williamsburg (horses, sheep, cows and ducks). We finished off the weekend with church and brunch at Seasons on DOG Street. All in all a great weekend and Everett absolutely loved his Easter basket. Ben and I also went to Richmond on Saturday during the day to have Rollin's 3-D Ultrasound taken, and we confirmed that he is one cute little man. We cannot wait to meet him on June 3rd. He slept most of the appointment, but we did manage to get some great pictures. He is photogenic just like his brother! Here are some pictures from our Easter weekend.

Face of the Day

What you looking at?!

The Greatest Show on Earth!

Yesterday the circus came to town and we took Everett to experience his first time under the big top! Ringling Brothers & Barnam & Bailey came to the Verizon center in D.C. and it was quite a show. We were not entirely sure how Everett would like it, or how long he would sit still and pay attention, but he LOVED it! It was such a joy to see his facial expressions and pointing and ohhing and ahhing everytime a new act came out. He was thrilled. Nothing gives us more joy than seeing Everett experience new things. He is such a happy child, we feel so blessed. Here are some photos of our trip to the circus. The elephants were by far Everett's favorite. Love that kid.

Feeding All by Himself!

Lately Everett has been wanting to feed himself his meals and protests loudly if he is not allowed. Messes ensue, but he sure is cute doing it. Here is a little video of the first time he tried to feed himself.

Spring is here?

The weather this past weekend was amazing in our nation's capitol- FINALLY! After several weeks of freezing temperature and snow we got to pull out the short sleeves and get outside! We had the best weekend with Mr. Everett. On Saturday we had lunch with some friends from church, then walked to the park where Everett literally went crazy walking around like a mad man. He had the best time. On Saturday night, our dear friends, the Taylors, came over for dinner and we cannot believe how much the boys have grown this past year. On Sunday we went to church and headed to the National Zoo. There had to be at least a billon people there, but Everett was fasinated by the apes, elephants and pandas-- it was adorable. We offically also became FONZ (friends of the national zoo), so we hope to visit the zoo more often, especially after Rollin's arrival.

Babymoon 2009

Ben and I were lucky enough to get away for three days to sunny Phoenix, Arizona to celebrate baby Rollin's upcoming arrival. We had a wonderful time laying in the sun and visiting old friends. We stayed at the chic Hotel Mondarian in Scottsdale which was very relaxing and quiet, spent a day at the Camelback Spa and ate lots of yummy brunches and dinners with old friends from Phoenix. We cannot believe we moved from Phoenix over five years ago, longer than we actually lived there! Phoenix always holds a special place in our hearts since it was where our marriage started. We still remain close with our friends out west and it is always fun to catch up with them, and now visit their kids! Times have changed :) We had a lot of time to reflect on baby Rollin's arrival as well, and we sure cannot wait to meet him!
