The Park

Another week in the books...

On Wednesday, after school/nanny Lily and Jack headed to Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom's for a two night sleepover. Thursday was freezing so they stayed indoors playing, but on Friday they managed to get in a little backyard, swingset time until Mom came to pick them up.

On Saturday, Lily had a play date with Madeleine and Clare, and then we spent the rest of the day playing, visiting Target, and eating chinese food - eating out is always interesting with Jack, there is only a limited window until he decides that he wants out of the highchair to run around - might have to stick with take-out! Lily has a new sleeping bag, and was excited to sleep in it in her bed on Saturday night, and play in it on Sunday.

Sunday brought beautiful weather, so Lily and Mom biked while Dad and Jack strolled. We went about a 1/2 mile on the bike, and Lily did great - she just had a little difficulty getting up hills and was a little afraid downhill, fortunately the course was pretty flat. Later on Sunday, Lily and Jack accompanied Mom for a quick trip to work to pick up something, and an impromptu trip to the White House to see where Obama lives.

Monday Lily had a good day at school including ballet class. Grandma Gail came over to hang out with Jack, and they got in a trip to the swings. Monday night, we visited Color Me Mine to paint some pottery as part of a school event - part of the proceeds went to the school. Lily chose to paint a frog and Mom painted a jewelry box for Lily, we will see how they turn out next week!

We are off to Colorado on Thursday, we will see if we can update from there next Monday, we are looking forward to some snow and skiing!

Lily and Jack want to send out special birthday wishes, kisses and hugs to Bubbie who is celebrating her birthday on Saturday. Happy Valentines Day!
