DC in pictures

I have no fashion sense so I was texting a friend pictures of shoes. Notice my 2 helpers in the background. I thought of JLK a lot that day. I could take her anywhere with me… except shoe shopping. She HAD to look at every pair… TWICE!!

Charlotte in the airport. Such a good traveler.

We walked back and forth in front of the capital so often this trip. DC is a great walking city!

How Tony does a museum !

My first thought seeing this picture was …she looks so grown up ..I hate it!… I choked on the words though.. I love having her as a baby.. but I can’t wait to see her grow up. I was always the mom who was truly a bit hysterical every birthday eve for my kids..I thought I “hated” that they “had” to grow up. Now I am scared to trust that it will actually happen.

He asked me to take this picture … your guess is as good as mine…

I asked Tony to try to start taking random pics of me with our kids. He nailed this one for sure. I love it.

USDA farmers market.. had to hit it up

Washington monument. We weren’t sure we were going to do them.. I am really glad we did.

Lincoln..

My attempt at a fun picture..

..although the outtakes might be the best..

Showing a little love for his company.

In the lobby of our hotel. She was so good in her stroller this was her release. She was so cute .. and happy.. and fast. You can see why we got so many comments on her. This was one of my favorite dresses on Jennifer. She actually wore it in the maternity photo shoot we did when I was expecting Jonathan. I dont know what I am going to do when she wants to pick her own clothes… I love putting her in Jennifer’s things.. or something that connects my girls.

A little Unravel foreshadowing:)

One of my favorite parts of the trip. Live butterflies. Charlotte was so excited in there.. squealing with delight and being so good to approach the butterflies slowly.

Ruby red slippers. Jennifer loved Wizard of Oz. ..

our money guy at the countries money place.

We missed our boys terribly … thankful for technology!

White house.

Some of the incredible people we met. This young lady is a survivor .. we both really felt a connection to them. ..Meeting the was worth the trip!

Baby Charlotte looked adorable in the flower girl dress that both girls wore.. I know she won’t fit in it for much longer so I chose it for our visit to the Hill. On the bed with pinkie behind her .. I took so many pictures..

…maybe one too many??

At the airport waiting for our flight. Again our girl all smiles running around the airport.. with pizza of course.
