Hello, Timmy!

So, I have some meetings in the Baltimore area this week and that afforded us the chance to piggy-back a family trip back to this area to see some friends. We came out Friday night and spent the weekend with Ben, Cari, and Tim. Sara and Tim are only a week apart, so they had fun playing just like their parents. And well, their parents had some fun with them too :)



Sara took her second round-trip airplane ride this weekend. She was a bit more active this time on the ride out, but had fun and we were lucky to have nice people around us. She also took her first flight with only one parent (Mom) on her ride home, which also well.

Basically we just chilled out and played with the kids and caught up... though Ben an d I did manage to get in nine holes of golf... which was a lot of fun, especially given that the weather this weekend was stupendous, not humid nor buggy, and the pollen basically left me alone!!!!

The kids had a pretty good time too, though we worked on sharing a bit, especially when it came to one of Timmy's cool books that baa's like a lamb on every page when you press a button... clearly a favorite. Sara climbed the stairs twice... and as you will see later, was trying to show Tim how she did it too! Sara had a little trouble getting to sleep, but we finally got it figured out too.



One of the highlights was a walk in the nearby park, where the flowers were in full bloom and kids of all ages were enjoying the weather and the color.



Here are some nice pictures from the park, first of Sara and Danette:



and then Cari, Tim and Ben:
