Hello Blog

It's been a looooong time. I'm not going to pretend like I'm going to post here super regularly....I'll try, but no guarantees.

Warning! Lots of pictures and stuff ahead.

Since the last post....We've been to a few birthday parties.

Our old neighbor Stephy.

At this age, the kids really don't understand watching their friends open presents. There were almost a few tantrums.

Our good friend Sebastian's party was at Chuck E Cheese.

Sofie was more worried about the giant mouse than taking pictures.

Ran a few races.....

Marc ran the Marine Corps 17.75K

Hard to tell, but Marc's in there. He's wearing a navy shirt, next to a guy in a red shirt.

I ran the Reston Women's Distance Festival 5K.....and sprained my ankle at the post race festivities and haven't run since. :-(

Again, not in front. White hat right behind the first girl.

Sofie really enjoyed Mimi and Papa's visit on July 4th. Unfortunately, there are no pictures with Mimi.

Our first taste of sparklers.

Last Saturday we took Sofie to the Reston Town Center to play in the water fountain.

I relaxed in the shade.

Sofie thought looked like a good idea and did the same.

We also bought new furniture last weekend. We brought some home with us when we purchased and waited on some to be delivered. The last of the deliveries showed up yesterday and someone came and took all the old away today.

New Sofa

We got some new bookcases and created a play area for Sofie behind the sofa.

New Dining Room Table
IMG_1083
It has 2 more leaves we can put in to make it larger. But it only came with 4 chairs. So we are on the hunt for 2 more that accent the set. I'm thinking something along the lines of a parson chair.

And we moved the desk to try and make the dining room and living room flow better. I guess you never have all the space you need. ;-)

Whew! I think we are all caught up now.
