North's Third Cherry Blossom Festival!

Alan was able to work from home for a few days last week and spend another weekend with us before heading out of town again. It was great timing because our unseasonably warm weather as of late caused the cherry blossoms to come a bit early this year--we were glad he was able to be here while they were in bloom and we could all go downtown to join in the celebration. This was North's third year getting to see DC during its beautiful blooming season (see here [my phone with all of our other pictures from that year was destroyed before I ever got to post pictures] and here for previous years).

Cooling off with some ice-cream

Running crazy in front of the capitol

While downtown we decided to get dinner at ShopHouse--yum!

Catching the metro back home.

Playing guitar with daddy

North celebrated daddy being home one night with one of his light-up lollipops

It was so nice to have Alan around for a few days! And such a relief that there are only 6 more days left before the baby arrives that he will be out of town!
