It rained all day today, so we spent most of the day inside. We are hoping to get out to the National Arboretum to see the blossoms there tomorrow.

Cherry Blossom Season
It is peak cherry blossom season a little early this year. I went down to the Tidal Basin yesterday evening after work with a couple thousand of my closest friends. It really is beautiful!

Cheese Face
O now has a "cheese face" that he gives me when he sees the camera... still a cutie though!
The other day, he decided to dump all of the blocks out of their wagon and wanted me to push him around. Who can resist?

C&O Canal Weekend
We spent the weekend at a canal house on the C&O canal in Maryland, right outside of DC. We had a wonderful time at lock house 10. There are five old lock keepers quarters that have been refurbished by the National Parks Service. This house dates back to the 1860s and was refurbished to the mid-1930s when it would have been updated by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The CCC was very active in the region around the canal when it first became a National Park.
The house had electricity and running water, but no TV or radio or telephones. The weather was really great this weekend. O had a great time playing out on the porch, in the yard and walking along the tow path and down by the river. I wish I had some pictures of him collecting pine cones in the yard with his dump truck. He was determined to clean up every pine cone in the yard.
The kitchen was my favorite part of the house.
Kristen stayed with us on Saturday night - O had a lot of fun with her as always.
We have been meaning to stay at one of these houses since we first learned about them not long after we moved to DC. Luckily for us, our friends who booked this weekend were unable to use it, and offered us their booking. Thanks Marcus and Bea!

playing music with Daddy and feeding Kristen some of his famous soup:

Proud
On Sunday morning, O got our attention to show us how he set up his digger and dump truck
He was very proud of himself, as he should be.

President's Day Weekend Visitors
We had visitors for the long weekend. Grandma and Grandpa came with Katelyn and Jenna, and we had a lot of fun! Although O stayed home for must of the outings, I had a nice trip to the zoo and to the Museum of Natural History with everyone.
O got a new outfit from Grandma for Valentine's Day. Of course, she did a great job - and O seems to approve too!
O had a great time playing with the new trucks that Grandpa brought him. He is so funny with the digger and dump truck.

This morning he was looking for Jenna as soon as he woke up. Too cute!
Thanks for the visit, we can't wait till the next one.

Catch up
Seems like I am always catching up these days.
While I was gone in Curacao, Nan was here to help take care of O. They had lots of fun making Valentines and sock puppets. O loves the sock puppets, and I love the way he says "sock puppet". So cute! Here is he playing with the sock puppets. He really loves them!

Kissing puppets:
Feeding is sock puppet "soup":
Music with sock puppets:
I was cleaning up in the kitchen and O seemed very quiet - this is what I saw when I looked around into the living room:
Funny - I never could get him to play in the play pen - here he is putting himself in the laundry basket! He has been playing with that little musical toy since he was a couple months old. He still really likes it.
