pictures from our past....



 Allison and Evie met for the first time-it was love at first sight for everyone!! They have had a very close bond since the moment they met. Evie is in awe of her older sister, it's very cute!
 Allison took ballet with the amazing Ms. Heidi. We miss Capitol Hill Arts Workshop ballet classes very much! We hope to find a new dance class for Allison sometime in the spring.
Jim and Allison enjoying hot chocolate and conversation at the ice rink in the sculpture garden of the National Museum of Art. This was a favorite hang out for the cold weather loving duo. Mommy usually stayed home or came with the car when they didn't have the energy to walk/tricycle home.
Allison cooling her feet in the fountain that becomes the ice rink in the winter! Daddy usually stayed home or was at work on the hot days we visited the fountain.
Evie slept about 18-20 hours for the first six months of her life. I was a bit worried at times- how could she need so much sleep? Allison slept very little as an infant so it was not what I was expecting from a baby but it was a blessing! 
 Allison continued her quest to try all the new things she encountered! We called this "baby sling shot"- she loved it and she drew a crowd. After all, what kind of parents let there 3year old do this sort of thing??? (Actually, she did it the year before as well, when she was only 2 and 1/2. She begged to go on it and I refused for the first hour. Then I said, okay ask the man if you can ride. I figured surly he'd said, no your to small but he said, sure come on in-seriuosly???!!! She rode and loved it!)
 Allison shaving before she went to play with her friends. No one wants to play with a preschool with 5 0'clock shadow! She loves to share Daddy's razor in the morning!
