Between a trip to the Chinese supermarket, attending a drizzly minor league baseball game and taking a family hike around Burke Lake, this Mother’s Day weekend was packed with enjoyable events.
When Sterling was born, our friends in Boulogne, Michele and Fredy, gave Sterling a shirt (size 18 month in French sizes) which, at seven months, he is almost able to fit into comfortably. I took some pictures of him wearing his shirt today. He’s getting so big, I have to say. Happy too!
Today, I was happy to take a walk around Georgetown with Rene. We had oysters and beers then meandered around the Georgetown campus before walking across the key bridge home.
Today, I joined forces with a mighty wind by hauling my melodeon down the hill to Freedom Park. No audience had gathered, but that wasn’t the point. It felt exhilarating to open the bellows expansively and to match my voice to the accordion in hearty song, out in the open air!
Papa took the boys over to the White House for the annual Easter Egg Roll. And while Miles was a little disappointed not to have gone into the White House to meet President Barack Obama, we did get to meet Kwazii Kitten from the Octonauts.
