My Birthday

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. It was a very nice, laid back day. Abby came over with Fran and Irene and the kids played together for a bit. We met up later in the evening at the Barvick's and left the kids so that Matt and I could go out to dinner.

Frankie was very pleased to be at the Barvick's. Bill was very sweet to him - reading books to him and taking care of him.

Peter was not so pleased to be at the Barvick's, especially when Matt and I left. He had an unprecedented break-down at that point. Don't worry, he survived.

Matt and I went to dinner at a la Lucia - an Italian restaurant in Old Town. I found out later in the evening that, for my gift, we're going to Wolf Trap to see Les Miserables in September! I'm very excited about that!

Better Late than Never

So without further ado...


We had to corner a friend's mom who had a camera at the end of the Gala.


Obviously I did not know that my dress was incredibly wrinkled from having sat through dinner.

We had a really good time at the gala and owe a ton to Mike and Abby for watching our kids absolutely last minute!

Wheaton Regional Park

Wheaton Regional Park has not only a carousel, but a 10 minute train ride where you go over a bridge and thru a tunnel. Matt and I have only ever been to this park with the kids in the winter - thus we were limited to the play equiptment. Well, that all changed today! We rode the train twice. We rode the carousel first. We ate our packed lunch and enjoyed the fantastic weather!


The kids enjoyed "driving" the cars at the playground. I am shocked that Peter is already old enough to have fun doing this!


Frankie is just playing. You can see me and Pete off in the distance. There is a lot of shade at this park - very nice!



I love this photo of Pete! He is such a happy kid.




Frankie can't wait for the train to arrive! Unfortunately, it is too late to post a pic of the train, and I didn't get any stills of the kids on the train. We are definitely going back to this park...to this train!





The boys had a great time on the Carousel.
