Washington, DC - Photo Slide Show

Washington, DC

Dave took some leave this last weekend and we met our wonderful friends Jim and Kari in Washington, DC for the weekend.  Jim and Kari are expecting their first little one in October and with all of our crazy schedules we wanted to get together before Baby Lorge arrives!  Jim and Dave were definitely in need of a mini vacation from residency and Kari and I were in need of some "girl time!"  We had a wonderful weekend.  Hailey and Madison were troopers as were Jim and Kari.  We all shared one hotel room; we thought that this would be a great introduction to parenthood!!  What a great weekend we all had, it was much needed and well deserved!!  Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.  I am also working on a photo slide show of the rest of them...

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day!!  Dave was home and we spent the day together as a family, I couldn't have asked for anything more. 

Mommy and her girls!

Madison (4 months old)

Hailey showing Madison one of her toys

and Madison watching so intently.

Madison being cute.

Hailey being cute too!

Very difficult to get a picture of the 2 of them together...

but this one turned out pretty good.

Hailey Loves To Be Outside

If I would let her spend all waking hours outside she would absolutely love it!  The weather has been beautiful here and we have taken advantage of it.  Hailey is finally walking most of the time, although she still reverts to her knees once in awhile.  There are also a few pictures here of Hailey with her tongue out.  Whenever she is trying to do something her tongue is out of her mouth.  Must help her concentrate! 

Silly Girl

So Happy!

Focused

I can go faster with my tongue out!

This looks like she is trying to touch her nose with her tongue,

but she is trying to get off her bike.

I am going to...

get up on my knees.

"Okay Mom, I have my purse I am ready to go shopping!  Are you coming?"

Madison

I found this picture that was on Dave's phone and just thought that is was too cute to go unposted!  It is because of Madison that I am finding things to keep me busy and from falling asleep at the moment.  She will eat again about 10:30 and then sleep until 6:30 or 7:00.  She actually officially slept through the night while we were in Colorado and it was exactly the same day TO THE YEAR that Hailey slept through the night!  Many of you may wonder how I remember when Hailey slept through the night, and even though it was quite the milestone, I only remember the date because it was the first night that we slept in our new home.  Needless to say having two babies that sleep through the night is fantastic!  Madison is such a joy to us.  She smiles and coos and is just a very happy baby.  She loves to watch Hailey play, she loves to sit in her swing, she loves to be sung to and she is my cuddle bug.  Although the adjustment to having two so close together has had its share of struggles we have all found our niche and are enjoying life as a family of four!  What a blessing our girls are to us!
