We went to Ford Theater, where Lincoln was shot (in the booth behind me, above) and then headed across the street to the house where he died. The bed below is where he died. Very sad. But I did learn more about the story than I knew before, like the fact that John Wilkes Boothe was a famous actor, which is why they let him in to greet the president. So it would be like Brad Pitt shooting Obama…but that would never happen today.

Then we went to the Holocaust museum. I don’t have any pictures of that, but as you can imagine, it was sobering.

On the second day we had tickets to go for a tour of the capitol building. Very cool!

Staring at Jonah again


Popsicles for lunch

Hard Rock Cafe for dinner

Nick’s family came to visit us for a week! We were so glad to have them and we had a ton of fun. They got here last Monday evening. Tuesday, we went to the air and space museum and the national history museum. Then we had Chipotle for dinner.

Oscar! At the national history museum

Kermit! Also at the national history museum…and in the same display were Dorothy’s ruby red slippers!

Natalie and Paul taking a break to admire Jonah again. We wore ourselves out pretty good by the end of the day…soooo much walking in DC!

Dear Nick…congratulations on your promotion from Private to Specialist last Friday! Sorry I couldn’t be there for the ceremony. I love you!
And thank you for all that you do Nick! You’re such a great dad, husband, provider, cook and friend!


Jonah’s very first bottle. (And he’s only had one other since!

For those of you that know my brother Cody, he recently went into the MTC. If you would like to read all about his adventures I will be keeping up his blog at www.elderwoodbury.blogspot.com

We dressed up like hicks and went to the demolition derby. It was a blast! And Jonah Baby went to a babysitter for the first time!! THANKS Ariella!

Nick looks pretty cute!

These two cars (below) got stuck together…it was funny.

Yummy funnel cakes!

Our new friends Luke and Tiffany came with us.

For the first time in the history of our relationship Nick managed to surprise me!


I definitely was not expecting a fruit arrangement on a random Thursday afternoon!
Thanks babe!

Jonah attended his first concert last weekend…a free Cake concert at the nation’s largest free arts festival in Baltimore. Here he is in his big boy outfit for the concert… (His little legs are so buff, he can hold up his own weight!)

This is how bad our seats were…but hey, it was free and that way at least it wasn’t too loud for Jonah.

And this is what Jonah thought of it all…

Yay for a day out! It is a lot harder to go places now that we have Jonah, but we are adjusting!
