Sweet Summer Time!

Apparently we missed the entire month of June, so we'll wrap it up in one big post.

New House
That's right, after over a year of searching we bought a house! We found a renter for the townhouse, and all that's left to do is pack up and move out to Fairfax on July 24th. Let us know if you want to help:)

Mmmm, treats! (actually Gerber Puffs)
Jackson is getting good at picking up little bits and putting them in his mouth. For a guy with no teeth (still!) he sure loves some cereal puffs. Yum!


Mmmmm! (he says that now, too!)



First trip downtown!
OK, technically Jackson's been downtown a number of times before, but not since he's been a "big" boy. So we took a Sunday to visit the Natural History Museum, and he loved it!

We're really into animals right now. Especially Kitty Gingersnap and now fish.

The elephant in the mammles room was HUGE! Chad and I really enjoyed revisiting the museum as we hadn't been there since elementary school.

Yawn like the hippo...

Jackson was allowed to pick out a toy and he wanted the meercat (interesting....) See the meercat picture over him? Doesn't the stuffed animal look exactly like it?

Riding the metro with Daddy was half the fun:)



Baptism
It was a special day on June 20th when Jackson was baptised at our church, Vienna Presbyterian, by Pastor Pete. Thank you to our friends and family who joined us to celebrate, thank you to the mom's and BT for putting on a great reception, and thank you Katie for the photos. Poor Jackson was sick (ear infections, those nasty things!) but he was a little trooper and a good sport for most of the day.

  1. This post is just like you guys--adorable, exciting and busy! The house is really beautiful; what great news about renters, too. I am not sure we'll be available to move that weekend, but can I offer to help prepare in the coming weeks? (This includes actual work in the house, not just playing with your baby, I promise!)
