Rodies and Birthday Parties

We had intended on spending our weekend entirely in the DC metro area. We owed Nick's mom a nice dinner out (at the very least) for taking care of the kids last weekend during our week. Unfortunately, Nick's mom got sick so we opted to save that for another weekend. Hopefully, we will have be able to make it up to her very soon. Instead of spending the entire weekend in DC, we spent just the day there for a friend's birthday party celebration.

The birthday party was a reunion of sorts. Three years ago at the very same location we were celebrating our engagements and Hilary was going away as were we (at least we were soon to follow). Three years later, we all have returned with all our families in tow. How quickly things change!


Have y'all ever heard of Rody horses? A friend's daughter got one for her birthday. Ladybug got a chance to give a go and she's pretty much hooked. These are great for hyper children. Maybe the Easter bunny will be bringing one for Ladybug??? We need to talk it over with the Easter bunny.
