Two Weeks in Pictures

Riding the train at the MCPOM Picnic (100 families with multiples!)





Our favorite summer concerts- back with our "summer gang" including Alex's girlfriends!

Kira gets lots of hugs and attention from Izzy and Sammy at the concerts



Kira hangs with pal Eliana at the Rockville Mommy and Me Morning

Alex gives Eliana's big sister Celia a big hug

The kids made necklaces from pasta at one of the craft tables

Ari shows off her creation

Sisters bond in the mulch pit...

...while Alex loved jumping off the rocks

We went to Cabin John Park with friend Savannah and her mom

The kids loved playing in the train and riding the real train through the parkWe went blueberry picking and rode a tractor to the field


Kira shows off a blueberry (before eating it)

More blueberries were eaten than picked!

See?

Friend Ryan and his mom and brothers joined us

We took a trip to the fire station with Ari and Alex's school friends

Alex loved the fire trucks!
But he loved our trip to Yogi Castle afterwards even more!

Ari and Alex had their final swim lesson and Mommy got to come in and watch

They ended up liking it so much they will be starting another session soon

We took our first road trip as a family of five to New Jersey for Trip and Beth's wedding and saw Mommy's college roommate Lauren and her family. Their nanny Valene watched the kids at the hotel that night...
...while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed celebrating with Trip, Beth and Mommy's friends from law school

Ari, Alex and Kira LOVED staying in the hotel...

...especially eating the complimentary continental breakfast



Yum- apples!
Alex dressed for the wedding brunch the next morning
Kira was dressed up too And of course Ari!Then we went into NYC to visit Alan and Nicole
Ari was pooped and fell asleep in the stroller!
Alex loved the miniature boats in the lake in Central Park All three kids loved the Central Park petting zoo

Then we made a trip to every child's dream come true: FAO Schwartz
And of course had to dance on the piano (although Alex preferred to watch)We couldn't drag Kira and Ari off the piano!
Aunt Candy and Uncle Jerry paid us a surprise visit while we were at FAO Schwartz Ari, Alex and Kira had their first NYC cab ride and loved it
The girls dote on Alan in Alan and Nicole's apartment where we all stayed Saturday night
Another first: a NYC subway ride (also a big hit!)
All in all, a very exciting and busy summer so far. And tomorrow is July already (and Kira's 20-month birthday)!

My goodness Lisa. You all do more in 2 weeks than I feel like we do in a year. I still don't know how you do all that with 3 little ones. The most I have braved on my own with the kids is Chuck E Cheese and I still think I should win some kind of prize for keeping it together. HaHa.

Love all the pictures of the family. The kids are getting so big!

Hope you all are doing well!
