Friday

 Today was good.  Work was slower this morning and I worked on somewhere reports.  I had some change orders in the afternoon.  For cross country Isaac ran to Aggie ice cream and they got a free one then they drove him back.  I picked him up after work.  Ruth's friend Liliana came home and they walked over to the park and had fun.  I was so proud of Oliver, he had a bad grade in math so he talked to his teacher and figured out what was going on.  Then we worked on what he was missing today.  He knew how to do everything and had been paying attention.   He is doing great.  Oliver had a birthday party and then he played D&D at the library.  He had a lot of fun at both of them.  Isaac had a cross country dinner at the park and then he went out with his friends.  Ruth's pants ripped and we tried to find a new pair but shopping is so emotional for her.  We didn't get anything.  I am glad you guys are having fun and we love seeing the pictures.

 We had a good day. We had to take the red line to the zoo and I have never seen such long elevators. They went on and on. We were way underground. I have never been on that long of an elevator. The zoo was so beautiful. It was so tranquil. I was just amazed how much room the animals had. It had such big windows on the displays. The elephants have a huge place. There was an orangutan that had a hand broom and dust pan and would get a handful of hay and sweep and sweep it. Then he would. Lean his brushes and start again. We were there all day. The pandas were asleep.and we went back and they were eating. That was something to see. It rained last night so it was humid but.cooler which was nice. No one wears jeans. They all.wear linen. Makes a lot of sense. Have a great weekend. Love mom rachel i love your rug

 I like your rug Rachel, it looks nice. My day was good we got up and went to the zoo. It was a really cool zoo. They had nice enclosures for the animals. I am still having trouble getting pictures to post on the blog so that is why I texted them. Robin there were national guard men's at the metro station when we got off on the way back. Tomorrow we are going to hit the monuments and museums on the mall tomorrow. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Thursday

 Oliver has a cold so he stayed home from school today.  He had a sore throat and a cough.  Isaac had early morning practice so it is hard to work out driving him there and picking him up.  It is so dark also.  Work went well.  I just have a couple projects that I am working on slowly and it is going great.  Isaac had violin lessons and Oliver had cello lessons.  I took Ruth to the hobby lobby so she could get more beads.  Isaac had driver's Ed.  They brought a family in that was a in a bad car crash to scare the kids to drive safely.  Me and the little kids mowed Peggy's lawn.  Casey went running and then helped at the end.  We went and got ice cream.  Ruth got three scoops.  Oliver wanted three scoops but he ordered wrong.  I got a new rug for downstairs and I love it so much.

Thursday

​today felt really busy and everyone was on edge. We have our convention in 2 weeks and everyone is burning the midnight oil. After work Jeramy had his front tires replaced. One was bald. And me and Luna went home and cooked dinner. She started to talk about school a bit so that was fun. She loves he PE class that is the main thing she talks about. Then Jeramy got home and we had dinner. I mowed the front lawn while Luna rode her bike

Thursday

 I just sent out pictures. I cant get them to go on the blog. We had a good day. I am surprised how close every thing is. We drove the metro.down to the spy mueseum. I was impressed by how clean and how everything so well. There was a lot to look at. We stayed a long time. We did find some fast food places. They we like Toronto. All underground by the metro. We had lunch there. We finished and walked around the area. We found the castle. The grounds were just beautiful. I love all the flowers. Then the space and air mueseum. It was hot and humid today. We were tired and so we stopped at the store and got stuff to make nachos. They tasted good. Tomorrow we are off to the zoo. I am excited to see the baby elephant. Hope all is well in utah. Love you guys. It is weird to have it so late here already. 

Thursday

 We had a fun day. We got up and went to the spy museum. It was fun. They have a ton of stuff there and you get an cover identity and mission to complete in the museum. After we were done with that we walked down to the Smithsonian castle (it is being renovated so we couldn't go inside). Then we went to the airport and space museum. Tomorrow we are heading to the zoo. I hope everyone had a great Thursday.
