Happy birthday, Grandpa!

Grandpa, we hope you're having a great birthday! We love you!

 

Zoo fun

We just got back from a fun morning at the zoo. It was a perfect day - great weather, not crowded, and the animals were out! Of course the play area was one of the big hits for the kids.




(I think red pandas are so interesting)

Our Outstanding English Major

We're so proud of Grammy. She received both the Dean's Scholar award (for a perfect 4.0) and the Outstanding English Major Award! We can't wait until graduation next month!

"Teeth Coming"

Rebekah finally lost a tooth (up top) that has been very loose for a long time. She has been talking about it for a while, and with Samantha loosing her first tooth recently, Danielle has picked up on all this talk about teeth. So Danielle now (several times a day) points to her own mouth and says, "Teeth coming!"

Playing outside with neighborhood friends - what beautiful weather we've been having lately!

Spring break

We've been enjoying our spring break this week -

the Dulles Air & Space Museum:

The Science Museum in Richmond:

And even the dentist's office:

Easter egg hunt

The girls had fun at our neighbors' annual easter egg hunt.

Aegina

I just think it's so cool that you can be driving along in Greece, and all of a sudden you see an ancient temple that was built in 500BC, like this one - the Temple of Aphea. Amazing!

We spent today on the island of Aegina. We spent more time waiting for the bus than anything, but it was very relaxing and picturesque.

We rode the metro across Athens to and from. Christy pointed out this sign - remember Barbara Thompson's talk? "Mind the gap"

I had to sneak this picture in - my neice Natalie (almost 2) trying to copy Christy reading to the preschool children. So cute!
