Wow...so a lot has happened that I just haven't taken the time to blog about. But I just uploaded pictures from the beginning of the month so you will get a rundown of our activities in no particular order. If you want a giant sized look at these small pics you can click on them.
The first Friday of every month is free at the Childrens Museum of Manhattan AKA CMOM. Here are some cute pics of the night. We had a blast!
We went to the Brooklyn aquarium with some friends from the Union Square ward...it was a gorgeous day but unfortunately I only took 2 pics the whole time!
We had a blast in DC and completely enjoyed the gorgeous 80 degree weather and had fun with my family. I planted a garden and E played with my siblings and the other neighborhood kids, ran around outside and got dirty and sweaty and did lots of stuff that she doesn't get to do in the city....I miss the suburbs! Although I'm sure once I'm there I'll blog about how much I miss the city. My mom and I went yard saleing? and had a blast! The only touristy thing we did in DC was go to the Zoo and drive through Georgetown...twice...though totally not on purpose. I thought I knew how to get there and I got a quick rundown of the directions from my dad upon departure. But somewhere we made a wrong turn and it ended up taking about 30 min to get there argh! Then once we get there every kid in the greater washington area is there with about 25 of his friends. So we went had a good time then got hopelessly lost again and it took about 1 hour to get home because of the traffic.
Yummy! So it was fun, but it also majorly sucked because my parents still have the same van that I learned to drive on so that means no AC and even if it did have AC one of the windows only sometimes rolls up. We used to call it the boogie van and it actually had a thumpin' base for its time, but now it is just an old purple piece o' hud that we are privileged to drive around in.
You can see the corner of it here next to a nice Benz
My dear wonderful friend Linda Ash is visiting with her husband Cecil this weekend from Mesa AZ. They lived in the city for about 2.5 yrs. and moved back last year. They were here working for the UN on a project called United Families International. We have had so much fun! Yesterday we went to a street fair which was Linda's favorite thing to do in the city. Then we went to the east village and ate Shwarma at our favorite middle eastern place Mamoun's Falafel. Linda is so sweet. She watched Elyse for us while I was in labor with Levi and she was the first (other than us and the midwives) person to meet Levi. I love you Linda!
Pauline is the new enrichment counselor who I will be working with. We had a dinner meeting the other night and she brought these beauties with her. Everytime I look at them I have to smile...they are GORGEOUS!
L has been climbing E's ladder for a few months now. We let him get to the top every now and then...but it makes us very nervous!
And here are a couple just because I think my kiddies are cute!
On a more sober note I saw this story on my sister's blog. It made me cry as I admired the strength and faith of this little girl and her family.

I can't believe that hunk of junk still runs...Long Live The Boogie Van! May it die (very soon) in the driveway and not the freeway.
