Buckets of Rain

Summer is winding down but we still have a lot going on and September will only get busier with Lily's 5th birthday coming up in a few weeks...

On Thursday, Grandma Gail came to hang with Jack - they got in lots of outdoor time in the backyard and at the park - thanks Grandma! On Thursday night, Mom, Dad, Lily and Jack went to the Nationals game. It was very warm but the kids had a blast - Lily was all about taking pictures and finding the mascots, whereas Jack just wanted to walk the aisles and talk to the people - both kids enjoyed their dinner which essentially consisted of popcorn.

On Friday, Mom, Lily and Jack met Tiffany and Ella (2 1/2) at a local park - the kids had fun but we all almost melted on the playground! The rest of the day was spent in the air conditioning and we dined at a local Mexican restaurant.

On Saturday, we had a visit from friends Matthew, Lauren and Jackson (11 months) and enjoyed a nice brunch. The rest of the day was spent hanging around the house trying to avoid the torrential storms, and Jack managed to take a 3 hour nap.

On Sunday, Lily had an early morning playdate with neighbor/schoolmate Pierce, where they had breakfast and got in lots of playing. We picked Lily up and headed over to Cole and Hayley's house, where the Moms and kids went to lunch, blackberry picking and then got in some play time.

Enjoy the pics!! Lots of pictures of Jack this week - we will try for more balance next week.
