My friend Jessie and her three kids came down from Brooklyn for a couple days last week, and we had such fun with them. Winter is hard on moms, and it was so nice to have something to look forward to slap in the middle of forbidding February. As Jessie says, "with 3 small children there are no vacations, only diversions," and we did manage to have a diverting time. It was really wonderful to me to just sit and catch up with Jessie- we even got to go out and walk around Old Town Alexandria and get a cup of coffee. (Moms also do not usually have quality phone conversations due to multiple distractions, so an uninterrupted conversation is such a rare jewel.) The top picture (which I stole from Jessie's blog) is sweet Claire and her buddy Harris. They are about a month apart, and they had fun commiserating about being the "third child." More pics...
Here is Georgia (7) with Harris and Mac in front of the Lincoln Memorial, but with the Washington Monument in the background. This was a beautifully sunny day in the 40s, but the wind was wicked. Up by the Washington Monument, Ruthie and Georgia were literally knocked down by a huge gust of wind. It was crazy!
Eben (4) and Georgia with Honest Abe. 
Ruthie and Georgia by the ice skating rink in the middle of the National Gallery's Sculpture Garden. The girls really bonded and had such fun playing and talking, just like sisters.
Inside the National Gallery, at the beautiful fountain surrounded by flowers. A taste of spring, so tantalizing and sweet- and two sweet girls!
