Liam's First Haircut

It took two and a half years but on Saturday, June 4th, Liam was finally ready for first haircut! We made it a family affair and all ventured out to Cartoon Cuts (ummm...never again) for this major milestone. Liam was a little hesitant at first but did a great job and sat very, very still. All of the ladies were very impressed that he was not only two and just now having his first haircut but also that he was two and so well-behaved. I will have to admit this mommy was not at all excited about my baby boy loosing his sweet little cowlick and its curl but it was definitely time.

Waitin' on a Woman....





God Bless the U.S.A

"And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me." Lee Greenwood

There are few things more American than family, baseball and fireworks, right? So with Aunt Laura in town and in honor and celebration of this great nation we decided to brave the heat and we went to a Washington Nationals game, they just happened to be playing our beloved Bucs (the Pittsburgh Pirates) right here in DC. We are having a great time taking advantage of all the fun things living in a major city has to offer and in my opinion there is no better city in the country to celebrate the birthday of our country than right here in our Nation's Capital. This year we returned to one of our favorite spots overlooking the city to watch the "A Capitol 4th" fireworks with some great friends. 4th of July in DC is definitely something worth experiencing. Let us know if you are every interested in celebrating with us!   



This little boy love the metro!

This does not do the fireworks or our view justice! 

Down South

In June Rolf's work schedule was crazy so the Liam, Norah Grace, & I headed down south to visit both sets of grandparents. We spent a few days in Lumberton with Mimi, Papa, and my nephew, Ian and then moved on to Carolina Beach to spend a few days with Aga and Papa Boom. It was really nice to have the extra help with the kids and a little break from the everyday. 







Our Summer Adventures - The Inner Harbor

This summer we are trying our best to go on at least one "adventure" as Liam likes to call them every weekend. A few weeks ago we ventured up to Baltimore to explore the Inner Harbor. 





When I grown up....
