Apple Picking

We went apple picking this weekend. Sofie had a great time!

My favorite shot of the day! Sofie hated stepping over all the apples that had fallen on the ground.

2 Pictures I Forgot

Sofie loves to ride her bike around the house (read: Dad pushes her)

Yesterday morning I got up to meet Michelle for a run. I noticed Sofie's door was open. I peeked inside her room and this is what I found. She had gone into the living room and brought her Pooh bean bag chair back into bed. Guess she felt lonely?

Consignment Sales

Oh how I love thee! I actually got to go in tonight for the volunteer pre-sale. One of my co-workers is volunteering and couldn't make it, so I went in her place. It was so nice and calm and not crowded. Plus, you get first dibs on everything!

Here's the loot....

An umbrella stroller

Army 10 Miler Weekend

This past weekend Marc ran the Army 10 Miler, pretty quickly I might add (net time 1 hour 25 minutes).

Sofie got a hat when we looked at the fire truck on display. However, she didn't want to wear it.
Photobucket

Mommy, you wear it.
Photobucket

Yea! Daddy's done!

The race starts and finishes at the Pentagon. We figured since we were there anyway, we'd go look at the new Pentagon Memorial for the victims of the attacks on Sept 11, 2001.

New Camera

Got a new point and shoot camera tonight. It's a keeper if for no other reason than when you push the button to take the picture, it actually takes the picture! Imagine that! You actually get a picture of what you intended to get a picture of. The old one would think about it, think about it some more, then maybe take the picture.....after your 2 year old child had moved on to something less cute. I've got so many pictures of Sofie looking drunk or half asleep.
