DC and Virginia

Two weeks ago we took a trip to Washington DC and then down to Virginia to visit my grandparents in Williamsburg and do some historical site seeing. Wow. The amount of walking we did sure took it's toll on me! In spite of that, we had a really good time getting away and having a few days to ourselves in our nation's capital, enjoying the sites and the history of the city and our country. My grandmother enjoyed playing tour guide for us, and we spent a day in each city of the "historic triangle", Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. She also had fun introducing me to her friends and patting my belly while saying "this is my first great grandchild right here." Lol. I also discovered a new love evil in Moose Track's ice cream. Umm, delicious! Wish I had some right now. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it!

The light streaming in at the National Museum of the American Indian was a perfect rainbow in one spot. So I made Phil pose!

Big belly!

Dodger, you look kind of bored..

...not to mention you have some nasty long nails! What can we do to get you out of this funk?
Actually we have a surprise for you...but you have to close your eyes!

No, don't open them!
Sadly, it is not a treat, it is BOOMERANG! You get a Schnauzer friend, coming this weekend. He's only on loan for a few days though, so I hope you have fun playing with him like last time!

Baby Shower!

5 of my sweet friends threw me a fabulous baby shower this past Saturday. I had such a good time visiting with everyone; my sister came in from Lubbock, Phil's sister, mom and Granny were all able to make it, as well as many of my dear friends. The food was SO good, and everything was just beautiful. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life and I can't wait for Lily to meet each and every one of them!

Yummy!

Pretty much the cutest cake I've ever seen.

With Vic.

Lots and lots of cute things in those packages!
The Graves ladies.

Sweet hostesses! Thanks for all that you did!

Cool Thursdays Concert

Last night we headed out to the arboretum for a concert and a picnic dinner with friends. Thanks to Candace for planning it! The weather was absolutely perfect, and we all brought food to share, which was really fun. Jennifer made a giant sub sandwich, Candace made a frito salad and a really yummy lemon cake, and I took the easy way out and made guac and french onion dip with chips and carrots. Candace also made sangria and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Emerald City played and we sat on our blankets and talked and watched the sun set over the lake. It was so nice that we hope to get in one more concert before the heat sets in, or at the very least get out with Baby Lily in the fall once it cools down.

The Crime: Riding the DART without a pass.

Yes, he got busted on Monday for riding without a pass. Fortunately for the crime doer, they let him off with a warning. I thought it was quite funny, because he had inconvenienced me by taking my car to work on Friday, so that he could take his bike with him, and I was left riding the Dirty DART. Luckily for me, a nice man gave me his seat on the train. Someone forgot to get the pass back from me over the weekend, leading to what I'm sure was a very awkward few minutes of digging through this wallet and wondering what he was going to say to the fare enforcement officer, sweat building up on his forehead. Fortunately for him, he was NOT booted off the train and made it to work on time.
