what the day holds. In the last month or so, there have been a few memorable moments that I’m just going to jot down so Laina can one day read this and hopefully laugh with us. So, about a month or so ago, Laina had a few nights where she […]

Santa dropped by the community center in our neighborhood a couple weekends ago, so we of course had to go say hi! This time, Laina talked to Santa, shook his hand, and touched him on his knee…but still did not want to sit on his lap. I guess it doesn’t […]
Laina and I love our “Aunty Vicky days.” Our friend Victoria (who I’ve known for 15 years!) takes the day off of work to hang out with us. This time, we decided to take Laina to the train display at the U.S. Botanical Gardens. I always love watching the two […]
This afternoon we headed over to the soft play area at a local recreation center with a few friends. Laina had a blast playing with all the “squishy” toys, but she spent most of her time in the ball pit. It was so much fun to watch her gradually become […]
Yet another Santa sighting this season! Del Ray had it’s annual Tree Lighting ceremmony last week, so we headed over for some caroling, strolling Mt. Vernon Avenue, and mingling. Laina was again thrilled that we got to see Santa….and this time he arrived on a fire truck! […]
Completely stocked with books, toys, activities, we hopped in the car around 5 a.m. on Wednesday to start our 10 (or so) hour road trip. Laina was a trooper though, and didn’t complain one bit. It was a good thing she had that much time to rest up before we […]
Last week, we headed down to Shirlington with Grammy and Granddad for the Christmas Tree lighting, etc. This was Laina’s second encounter with Santa, and she was again very excited. We didn’t really get to interact too much with Santa, but it was definitely enough for Laina to talk about […]
We had our first encounter with Santa last week while we were in Savannah. Laina is very intrigued. Very. She wasn’t into the idea of sitting in his lap however, she did want to give him a high five and touch his beard and hat. She was seriously checking him […]
It’s been busy in our household. All very exciting stuff, but Sam and I find ourselves wondering more and more where the time goes. So, while it’s a little late, I’ve been wanting to write a little something about Laina’s turning 2. We started writing down new developments, funny ways, […]
We’ve started a tradition of doing the Homeless Walkathon the weekend before Thanksgiving. This year, we decided to take the bus and metro into the city…and Laina had such a fun time checking out the public transportation scene. I think she preferred the bus since it was a bit more […]
