My Buddy Sam!

Earlier this week we had Landon's best buddy Sam over for the day, as his family was packing out their house. So sad that they are leaving next week, but happy that we will see them again when we get back to DC next spring! Of course the bulk of their day entailed playing with the Thomas trains...they even had another track set-up on the coffee table as the train table just wasn't enough ;) Then since it was a rainy day we had a picnic lunch inside, which they thought was pretty cool!

Our Little Hercules!

Gavin just can't wait anymore to get a turn at the train table. He actually held himself up on his legs for a minute or so until Mommy got too nervous and picked him back up. He loves to stand and his legs are super strong. Landon thinks it is cool when Gavin does this, but I somehow think that it won't last when Gavin is playing for real. Oh well, enjoy the harmony while it lasts ;)

Gavin also rolled over the other way this morning as well. He can now roll over both ways...wondering how long until he starts to crawl. He is only 3.5 months old - he is changing too fast!!!!

Luxembourg Trip

Here are the Luxembourg pics from our weekend trip. The weather was beautiful all weekend and we were able to do a lot of sightseeing and eat outside. As you can see we happened upon another cool playground that had a pirate ship. Definitely Landon's favorite part of Luxembourg!

Trier, Germany Trip

This past weekend we took a trip to Trier, Germany and Luxembourg for two days. Here are the pics from Trier, Germany. It was a beautiful town and is one of the oldest in Germany, founded in 16BC. There are still many of the Roman structures throughout the town.





























































































































Here are pics from the playground visit...it is always a great find when we are out sightseeing!


























































Pics from the Roman amphitheatre just outside of town.

Tot Art

Landon and his buddy Sam had a playdate and then went to the community building to check out the Tot Art activity...Fingerpainting!! They had a great time getting all messy and making great art! ;) Landon actually did not like it on his fingers too much and used other things to dip in...I was trying to get him to smear his hands in but he preferred the cotton balls instead. Oh well, it did make cleanup much easier...especially when some of the other kids had it caked in their hair and all over their faces! :) Gavin was taking note for when it will be his turn soon!!
