Memorial Day

Well...it was a busy Memorial Day weekend. Bella graduated from pre-school (after three long years!). She is so excited, and sad all at the same time. We were so blessed to have such a caring and nuturing teacher, Ms. Lynn for so long....Bella cares deeply for her, and has grown and matured so much during her time there at Madison Center. It has been a wonderful experience for us all! Bella recieving her "diploma"

One last snuggle with Ms. Lynn before the real world!

We all went to the Memorial Day Parade...here Mike and Josh hang tough in their hood....on the mall in front of the Smithsonian Castle.

The kiddoes took a spin on the Mall Carousel after the festivities

Love the man in the big big hat sandwiched between the girls.

Who doesn't love a parade!?! Delia puts on her game face while sharing a snuggle with friend Juliana McFadden at the parade




We get great seats since Mike's company puts on the parade...the kids get to enjoy a great view, and we don't have to fight the throngs of people....it is a small perk...but we love it!

Enzo loves the girls in spandex...just like his dad;)


We all chill on the curb...not the best idea in DC...unless you love the smell of old urine....

The throng on the other side of the parade...sitting up the steps of the museum

Giant ol Glory...pretty cool against the stormy sky of the day....the pic doesn't do it justice...it was enormous.




The kids, ready to see something cool....

It was HOT!

Melting men

I had to throw these pics in....we had a friend Emma over and they all "doctored" Bella.....it was pretty ghastly! She was hooked up everywhere...apparently she had a baby and it didn't work out right...

Bella...pulling through! ;)
