Let's Celebrate!

Lots of fun and good news this week! Most importantly -- Hayley was given the all clear on the ears! YEAH! We saw the doctor Thursday and she's both fluid and infection free. We still have to be cautious if she gets sick, but for now we're able to avoid the tube surgery. Needless to say, we're all thrilled!

We had a great visit with John's sister and her family. Suzanne, Peter and Claire were here for a short visit, but we were able to pack the time with lots of fun. We lucked out and the remnants of hurricane Cindy cleared just in time for a Friday trip to Washington DC for lunch and a museum visit. We had an awesome time at the Museum of Natural History and learned all about dinosaurs, the ice age, gems and minerals and mammals!

Saturday we hit the neighborhood pool and capped off a great day with some good old MD crabs! YUM! Cole had a great time with his cousin Claire.

This week looks like a hot one. Stay cool!

Hayley's jamming to her Sesame Street songs and gettin' some work done!

Cole and Claire are having some lunch before hitting the museums.

It was a long walk to the Museum of Natural History, so Dad gave Cole a lift.

The elephants could smell us coming.

The T-Rex was definitely a highlight of the afternoon.

Some monkeying around...

Somebody wants to give Cole a bear hug!

This is definitely a much better hug! Cole and Cousin Claire have enjoyed the day and are ready for a rhino rest!
