The Washington Monument

We have been very busy this month, what with everyone starting school and all, but we still found time to visit with some old friends in Baltimore and make a side trip to Washington, DC. It's been a long seven years since you've seen pictures of me at America's monuments, and this time, I've got company!
 

 

 

"Madeline's Shop"

Lately, Madeline's favorite game (besides playing school) is "working in her shop," aka, doing hair and nails. At first Daddy was reluctant to participate, but then he realized that all he had to do was sit and get his head massaged, so he went along with it.
 

A little late, but here we are on the first day of school! Madeline is in the first grade and Isabel is in the third grade.
