Fourth of July

We had a fabulous 3 day weekend enjoying the fourth of July in our nation's capitol. And North and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary in Fairfax since moving here! We went swimming at a fun local pool, enjoyed the downtown festivities, and enjoyed spending time together around our house.

North loved watching the small fireworks and fountains that our neighbors had bought and had a great time playing with his first sparklers.

And we all enjoyed the parade downtown.

Waiting for the fireworks!North loved them!

Nanny & Papa visit!

Recently Nanny and Papa made the long trip to Fairfax and spent a few days with us. We loved getting to see them and show them some of our favorite spots!

North and Nanny playing and giggling and snuggling in our living room!

We especially loved getting to take Papa to the World War II Memorial

Showing Papa his picture in the registry

and North loved getting to walk them around his favorite museum

North thought they needed to steal the throw pillows from all of the other couches so he and Nanny could snuggle properly

It was great to see them. We miss them!

St. Mary's!

A few weeks back we spent the day at my alma mater and enjoyed exploring campus, point lookout, and the beach. We all three had a fabulous time--it was so nice getting to share the space with Alan and North.

Church point!

Visiting some townhouse pond ducks!

North loved the cattails!

While looking through Alan's phone today I found some more photos from our trip--just a few that I thought I would share.

We miss Ender daily. It was good to catch up on snuggle time.


Got to visit IU and hang out in my old office for a minute.
