My Life in Pictures: A Long Weekend

At the museum

Dinosaur Wranglers


We made crepes, yum!

Flanna has learned to make hearts.

hearts galore

So sweet!

Other highlights of our long weekend include:  Robi and I went out for German food while Flanna stayed with a wonderful sitter!  Flanna had a playdate at a friend's house, and I took the time to organize and declutter a bit!  and Flannery and I went to the Y with some friends to swim!  It was altogether a lovely lovely time.


How did you remember MLK today?

My life in Pictures



You've probably noticed that I've been sporadic about posting this week. So sorry!

I'm super exhausted from trying to cram too much work and fun into summer days and staying up late every night (even though I keep trying to get to bed earlier!) AND, we get the keys to our new apartment tomorrow! Yikes! Which means I have got to get my rear in gear and get packing!

The good news is that I'm on vacaaaation next week! It'll be a stay-cation, which I'm very excited about. (Can you say pajamas all day? And kiddie pool lounging?) AND, my BFF from 8th grade and high school and college and the year I lived in Boston is coming for a visit! (That's right, those are all the same person...a remarkably wonderful person who hopefully will let me at least get one photo of her with Flanna that I can post to document our fun time together!)

Anyway, here are some great photos from a fun trip to the museum today. I took Flannery and her best friend, and we met my friend and her 3 kiddos there. The kids were amazingly well behaved, and I even got a few shots of all of them together! It was a wonderful day. And now I'm pooped!




Flannery trying to pull the "bubble" pump up...check out those muscles!


I love silly face photos!




The interactive shadow wall...this is so much cooler in person!





Aren't those just the cutest? And now to bed....how is it already 11?





How do you get yourself to bed on time?

Our First Family Camping Experience

Here are some photos from our fun camping trip, as promised!

It was simply a lovely time. And the best thing was that we had no cell phone or internet service while we were there, so it was a real vacation from everything! Don't you love the trash bag in the family photo?






The guys deep in thought. I bet they're thinking about grilled meat.



The girlies were soooo sleepy, but naps just didn't happen the whole weekend. Too much excitement going on!



Amama got her wish to sleep in a tent through a rainy night...VERY rainy!




We're hoping to make camping a fun family tradition. It's something both Robi and I remember enjoying with each of our families when we were young. And since it was pretty successful (minus the thunderstorm!), we're hoping it will get more enjoyable the more we go. Fun!



What family traditions do you value from your childhood? What new traditions do you want to create for yourself now?
