Mmmm Crabs!

Crabs are a summertime tradition in our family, and today we got a chance to meet up with Joe's cousin Mark to enjoy some delicious crabs by the water in Annapolis.

Ian loved the boats and the ducks.


Corn on the cob is the best way to keep him quiet and occupied while we pick the crabs.

After wading in the river, Ian practiced for his future hobby as a sailboat captain.

Loudoun County Fair

Last weekend we visited the Loudoun County Fair. Ian enjoyed petting the animals and playing some games, but it was way too hot to stay very long.

Choo-Choo!

Pool Substitute?

New Videos

I am behind on video uploads. Here are two from the last few weeks.

It's a little hard to tell in this video, but Ian is saying "raining" when the water starts to reach him.

Happy Birthday Ian!

Ian celebrated his 2nd birthday with some cake and presents, and a visit from Grandma and Grandpa H.

The Big Boy Room

Ian is almost ready to move to his "big boy" room. The decorations are a work in progress - we still need some artwork for the walls and the curtains have been ordered.


We went with an airplane theme - Ian's favorite!

The airplane mobile, my favorite part.

Plenty of room for toys and books.
