The White House? AGAIN?

A sign we've been in DC too long - this is the face Kasper makes when forced to pose in front of the White House yet again.

Trash Tour '06

I wonder how many people think we're going to dump him in the trash can when we do this?

Lessons in sharing

Kasper has been spending some time with his buddies Kristiana (27-months-old) and Giusseppe (9-months-old). We've been learning a lot about sharing (and just how many kids can fit in my lap at once). Here's how Kasper breaks it down:

Sharing storytime with Daddy - OK

Sharing his cool tricycle - NOT SO MUCH

Urban adventures, Kasper-style

In the spring, the District sounds a siren call. Sun, cherry blossoms and new museum exhibits abound. Kasper and I answered the call with our friends Liz and Isaiah. We took in an awesome exhibit on Grant Woods and American Gothic at the Renwick Gallery (definitely check it out if you're in the neighborhood).
Since we were two doors down from the White House, we checked that out too. Thankfully, we pried the boys off the fence before the Secret Service got involved.
Next stops, shopping and lunch, followed by a spin though the geisha exhibit at the National Geographic Society.

We were around the corner from my Aunt Eileen's condo, so we stopped by to see her too. Nothing like dropping by with two 15-month-olds to spice up the afternoon! ("Aunt Eileen" is technically my Grandmother Kasper's cousin. It's much easier to call her Aunt!)

We wrapped up by walking over to "pick up" Patrick from work. Kasper needed a run, so we hit the National Mall and stopped by the Hirshhorn Museum Sculpture Garden. Kasper feel asleep two Metro stops before we got home.

P.S. Everything we did today was free - plan your visit now!

Beach boys

It's not that we haven't done anything fun since we got home from vacation. We just haven't taken any photos. Plus, who could get tired of those Caribbean vistas?

The Young Man and the Sea

The waves weren't all that big, but then again, neither is the kid.

Tan, rested & ready

How did Kasper like 10 days in the beautiful Cayman Islands? Stay tuned - there'll be more photos (and video!) to come...
