Curie’s Birthday Party Invitation
Curie’s First Day of First Grade
Curie’s first day of first grade and her first day of kindergarten picture. You don’t think they change, but just look at how much taller she is with the heads the same size.
Last year when Curie went to kindergarten Elia was beside herself. This year she wanted her own sign. Here are also two more pictures of Curie last year and this year.
Elia August 2017
Elia loves to be silly and we can’t remember if this is just being a three year old, or if this is just indicative of Elia being Elia. The fact is that she cracks us up, and more importantly and even more funny is that she cracks herself up. And while it is often the funny faces she is making or the way she is acting, more often than not, it is the funny things she says. The other day Albert was talking about peeing and Elia said “Daddy! That is potty talk!” She has a fantastic imagination telling us she shoots fireworks from her hands, or takes care of her “baby.” Continue reading “Elia August 2017”

Curie July 2017
This is the first year of summer camp for Curie and she really loved going to martial arts camp at EMA, but after going to Congressional Camp with her pre-school friends, she has quite fallen in love with the place. She likes being in the specialty camps learning different things and loves her counselors (they love her too) She has been to Congo Chemistry, Lego, Junior Architects, Eco Science, and will do Summer Adventures and Chess. The new schedule changed our commute with Erin taking Curie to camp and Albert taking Elia to school in separate cars. It has really allowed for some bonding with each kid, but it also means a bit of disproportionate time with each one. Continue reading “Curie July 2017”
Family Picture: Silly Picture Redux
Our most recent family portrait doesn’t beat the one for our cover photo so it won’t replace it, but last night’s silly picture is a doozy.
Sunflowers at Burnside Farms
The last time we were at Burnside Farms was in 2015 for on our friend Emma’s recommendation for tulips in the spring. We went yesterday for Sunflowers in the summer and realized that Elia here is the same age as Curie then. Here are some similar pictures for comparison.
Girls doing the quick turn, picking flowers and running to the jumping thing. If you decide to go, don’t put in GPS for the Burnside Farms Flower Fields as you will get lost and frustrated like we did) it is a different field than their tulip fields. Go to their website and get the right one somewhere in Haymarket.
Spoils of our trip.
