One of the perks of living in lots of places is making lots of friends! And one of the perks of living near a destination city is seeing said friends who make DC a vacation spot! We met the Selley family at church in England. Jo and I became dear friends through our weekly Bible study group. I was so grateful they agreed to spend one of their vacation evenings in our home!
We were blessed to spend another birthday with Gramma! In keeping with tradition, we met Steve and Vallerie at McDonald's for a hamburger birthday party - her favorite =)
The girls and some friends worked on a "tree fort" near our house
Unlike our previous rental house, we now live near some flat sidewalk space and the girls have enjoyed riding their bikes more.
We love getting letters from our Compassion sponsor kids!!
Doing a little work together at our new (from Craigslist) picnic table!
A kind friend dropped of a tablecloth for our new picnic table just in time for our picnic lunch.
The kids and I rode the metro to meet Ryan for a dinner picnic on the Potomac before cashing in our free Nationals tickets from the library. The weather was perfect for a late night of baseball.
A new piece of furniture brought this creative girl a couple hours of imaginative play
Rooke and I scored the game Master Mind (which I played as a kid!) at the thrift store and we all have been playing it multiple times a day since. It does involve a bit of luck and on this rare occasion, Rooke literally guessed the code on his first turn!
It's rare to find any of my kids sitting. Alone. Quietly. =)
Ryan had the opportunity to preach at a small church, which was near an area known for good Chinese food. We picked a place for lunch that did not disappoint in the dumpling and traditional Chinese food department - yum!
