Andoo
My brother visited last weekend and we had a great time together. Thank you, Andrew, for flying from Connecticut to visit us! Darcy woke up Sunday morning and said, "Ukkle Andoo?" and I had to explain to her that you were gone already. Haley commented, "I like Uncle Andrew. He does fun things with me....mommy, can YOU do fun things with me?" Feel free to visit us in Iceland..the girls will be waiting! Read More
Big Girl Bed
Darcy has officially made the transition to her new toddler bed that the Pattersons gave us before they moved. I thought it would be good to train her to stay in a bed before our two month training in Richmond and then in Iceland. More pictures are forthcoming... Read More
Last Saturday
Last Saturday we went with Pillar to the National Zoo. To add to the excitement, we picked up a "gorilla" who was holding a sign "Take me to the zoo." Ruthe Clifton hid under the bus, Darcy wrapped her legs tightly around me, and Haley Jane said, "Hey, my daddy has that mask!" When the gorilla got on the bus, however, Haley Jane was not so sure.It was a good day seeing many animals and enjoying fine company. Right at 2:00 (the time we were told to meet at the entrance to leave), the heavens Read More

Bed and Breakfast
I feel so behind on blogging. So many things happen that I don't get a chance to record, and being the perfectionist that I am, that irritates me immensely. But, I have thought of a theme that encompasses a few events, so I will go with that. In May, we had an Icelander, Siggy, visit with us during his stay in the states. Siggy is very intelligent, articulate, and asks tons of questions. I love having him around because I usually have similar questions, but I get made fun of for asking them. Read More
The Best Birthday Present
Yesterday, May 18th, was my 28th birthday and the Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon in Fredericksburg. When I heard about this event last winter, I really wanted to participate, but Colby (the wise man that he is), counseled me not to. He knows that I am very competitive and intense and if I tried to train for a half-marathon, I would stress myself out. He thought that being in grad school was enough work for this spring. Maybe some day I'll learn how to cope with my perfectionism. Last Read More
