Cherry Blossom Festival 09

We had a fun day at the festival. We did a lot of walking! The one pic is the street fair. As you can see there were tons of people...from all over the world. You can see the capital in the background of that pic. The water pic is the Potomac River lined with the cherry blossom trees.

Celebrating 7yrs. of marriage!

My babies are becoming good friends.

Claire Update

Claire will be 8months on Monday of next week. She crawls everywhere now and loves to be upstiars crawling from room to room to see what she can find. She pulls herself up and moves around holding on to things. She is also standing all on her own. This girl wants go GO! She is a slave to the rhythm and can't help dance to any kind of music. She even dances to the sound of the garage door closing. She is my most cuddly baby and is silly and sweet. She has 2 teeth with one coming soon and she LOVES food, any kind.

Congrats to Robert!

Today is Robert's 1yr. mark working for the federal government. That means that as of 4pm eastern time he is off of his 1yr. probation where he could've be fired at will. Job security! They can still transfer federal employees wherever they want, but after moving to the other side of the country, that doesn't scare us. :)

Robert has worked really hard and impressed all the old guys he works with. 1yr. also means Robert is free to apply for other positions within the SBA if he chooses to. We've been patiently awaiting this day.

Snow Day!

We're getting a lot of snow today! It's supposed to be 6" by the time it stops. Bruce is home from school and the Federal Govt. had a 2hr. delay. (although Robert didn't know until he got there.) There probably won't be school tomorrow either. The problem here isn't the snow it's that everything quickly turns to ice and they only plow the major roads because they're not used to too much snow here.
