Lately...

We've been keeping ourselves fairly busy. Lots of play dates and meeting new friends. However, after nap we usually hang out close to the apartment because traffic really starts to get bad. So, we will play inside or walk to the very close grocery store...which I LOVE!! Our apartment is in an area called Tyson's Corner which consists of office buildings, restaurants and two large malls. I like it over here but I can't wait to move into our house. I miss a neighborhood! Only a few more weeks:) We are making the best of it though!

Here we are walking back from the grocery store..with Pup Pup in tow!



Looking for sticks..






Here is the grocery store. It's on the bottom level of these loft apartments. It looks small but it's really large and is a combo of a Whole Foods and a regular grocery store.






Looking for airplanes






Playing in the leaves



Smelling the leaves:)






Most days, this is what our apartment looks like until after Samuel goes to bed. It's just not worth cleaning up until then.






Today we went to a MOPS meeting and then over to the mall for lunch and some play time. Samuel really likes the mall here!









This cracks me up. He's in the same position as the polar bear!



They also have a choo choo that drives around the play area and food court. We love it!

Play hard, sleep hard

We have been going on play dates a lot since we have moved here. We played with a new friend today and this is my sleeping boy now!

DC weekend-Sunday

After church on Sunday, we decided to check out the Washington Nationals game. It was Samuel's first baseball game and he did pretty good! It is a very family friendly park with lots of room to run and a huge play area for the kids. We took the orange line on the metro and transferred to the green line. Two stops later and we were there! Easy breezy!! We are loving the metro...and so is Samuel.


Just taking it all in


Still getting over his shock of seeing the people dressed up in massive president costumes. Let's just say he wasn't a fan of BIG George Washington!


Much better now with his Nationals jersey on!











Here is where the food frenzy began. I cannot step foot inside a ballpark without getting a hot dog so we started with that first....


Then a little Diet Coke...


Cotton candy....


And delicious popcorn!! He already was missing a nap so who cares, right?? We had to do his first game up good!!


"Go Nationals!" we are still Rangers fans but had fun cheering on our new home team.





And the night ended with bath time silliness. We had to scrub good to get all of the metro, ballpark dirt off!


Counting away!

DC weekend-Saturday

We have had such a good weekend! This was our first weekend just the three of us and we packed it full. We started Saturday morning off a little slowly, but finally made it to the metro by about 10. We got out at the National Mall so Samuel could just run! He LOVED it! It was crisp and cool and we were all so happy!

There is a carousel right by the Air and Space museum...so of course we all three had to ride!











Flying a Cessna at the museum


Escalator fun! You get lots of this in DC!

Once again, God has showed us that this move is right! We sold our house in Dallas in 12 days and just bought a house in Arlington, VA this week! We are getting so excited!



Here is our new home. Once we move in I will post lots of pictures!
