Choo choo, watch out for Halina

Can you believe this sweet kid has started pinching to get her way?
All the running around has led to nice long afternoon naps...
The carousel got several of Halina's "ohhs" of approvalShowing no fear, she was ready to punce from horse to horse, while we were moving!


Michal's Mom visited this weekend and helped celebrate Michal's Birthday on our deck. After a Sunday brunch and quick trip to the farmers market, we went to Wheaton Regional Park and Halina has a blast, here's the evidence : )
Meanwhile, swim lessons continue to be a hit, although she is not developmentally ready for the instruction through songs and practice through imagination. Her climbing skills improve daily, while she is working on going up and down steps with minimal falling. Nap time is a definite need by 12 noon, or else....
Halina's siter, weighing 1.5 lbs, is still enjoying her hot tub....

Yeah! A weekend together!

Saturday morning we started with swim lessons and yard work.
Michal's USUHS class had a party to celebrate the end of hte year.
Halina ate slice after slice of watermelon, played in a kid pool, and then chased bumble bees. Lauren took care of Halina and Michal and I went to a movie - Star Trek (very entertaining); thanks Lauren! Sunday we went to Harper's Ferry; here are some of the best pictures we've taken in a while.
Halina's first taste of ice cream; well, it was actually custard....
