D.C., Day 4

Day 4 brought the Newseum (excellent!), The Lincoln Monument, and the White House.

Bat Mitzvah

As her "other mother," I was so proud to watch Madden's lifetime friend become a Bat Mitzvah yesterday. She is truly a beam of light in the world, and our days with Danielle are always filled with laughter and smiles. Congratulations sweet girl - you did an amazing job!

D.C., Day 3

We spent day 3 at the National Gallery of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, and the American History Museum. The Hirshhorn hands down held this crowd's attention the best!

Interjection...!!!!

...shows excitement, and emotion! OK, how many of you are singing the School House Rock song now? Well, Callie has some big news deserving of those exclamation points! She got one of the lead roles in the 6th grade musical, School House Rock Live. Her primary singing part is the lead solo on Interjections. She is so excited!!!
