I was able to get Thursday and Friday off from work and Bob has the best boss ever so he got some time off too - we headed down to the beach house for some fun with Karla, Pat, the kids, KK and Grammy and Papa. It was gorgeous down there and the kids had a blast. I ended up forgetting my Zofran - the anti puking, anti nauseau medicine that keeps me sane - so there are few pictures from today but some cute ones from yesterday. And yes, Annie Bananie took her first few steps yesterday - is it possible that she is almost a year old?? Bob and I can not wait for the Olympics to be over - we stay up far too late during Olympic time and Annie has been waking up every night for the last 5 nights at 2 a.m. and just whining for an hour or so - uggg are we tired. We are leaving for Washington DC tomorrow and staying until Friday when we will brave the Labor Day traffic to get home in time to prepare for Annie's 1st Birthday - Wow!
We have lots of plans for Washington - the Spy Museum, back to our favorite - the Air and Space Museum, another moonlight tour - we all loved this the last time we were in DC and a few other surprises for the kids. Thanks to Auntie Eileen we should have a quiet ride - she got us our portable DVD player and we splurged on the extended version of Camp Rock for the kids - shhhh - it's a surprise for when we get in the car. We also have their Leapsters charged and ready to go so hopefully it will be an uneventful trip! Not sure how Annie is going to be now that she likes to be down and mobile but we have plenty of time to get there and lots of stops along the way if need be! Stay tuned for pictures from Washington - I'll try to post a few times while I'm there!
Katie - she had Uncle Bob and I gushing all over her as she cooed and smiled for us. She is just about sitting up now but still likes hanging on her back and playign with toys - or Uncle Bob's glasses!
Kisses from her godfather!
Bob and Katie - how cute are they?
Molly was so excited to sit behind Katie and make sure that she didn't fall while she practiced sitting.
Papa and Banana hanging out together - She is like his little appendage while we are with him.
A girl train!
Peter and Katie relaxing!
All the kids waiting to go for a trip over to the beach at dusk - poor Molly spotted a bee and was terrified after her recent issues with bee stings - she's had 5 this summer so far!

Molly and Abby slept together in one of the queen size beds - they somehow wound up together in the middle and slept this way all night - how cute!

Annie standing on the kitchen table with Papa. The things she gets away with !
My big girl doesn't want to leave Papa's side so here she is hanging out while he makes his coffee.
Eating a banana while Papa gets his milk - too cute.
Papa took the girls out for a LONG walk this morning and this is how Annie fell asleep.
KK got Peter this lollipop and he convinced us to let him watch the Olympics for a while and have a few licks since the girls had already fallen asleep. How can you refuse that face??We had a nice few days at the beach and Bob and I are headed to bed now to get ready for the princess's evening visit to our bed. I'm going to finish packing tomorrow morning while watching the USA Women's basketball team win the gold tomorrow morning at 10.m.!!!!!
GNM - ILY!
