Getting ready for Easter!

We went out for a walk the other day and caught the Easter bunny doing a little reconnaissance on good hiding places. Justin suggested anything not on the ground because he hates having to pick all those eggs up...

Goodbye Winter...

I guess it's official. Even this pile of icy snow that sits near the north side of our building (and is therefore blocked from any sun exposure) has melted away. Signs of spring seem to be popping up everywhere...

Trip to DC!

Living in the New England area, we felt the need to take advantage of some of the nearby sites. One of those sites is the blooming of the cherry blossoms in D.C. around the beginning of April.



As it turns out, some of the prettiest flowers were near the Jefferson Memorial around the Tidal Basin. Granted, it also turns out that it's not a very well kept secret, so we were joined by thousands of other people who were also there to see the flowers. Either that, or everyone was excited to go for a jog at the same time now that the weather is finally nice.



To make an event of the trip, we met up with Dilen, Amy and Chuy.



Having both been to D.C. before, we had already been to many of the sites. One of the places that Jessica had not been to was the Arlington National Memorial, so we made some time to pay our respects.



This is a close up shot of the flame burning at the JFK burial site. Seems to be alive, doesn't it?



All and all, we had a great weekend. If you happen to be Facebook friends with Justin, you can see more of his photos posted on his Facebook account. Otherwise, hope these were enough!

April Fools!

Who said that mothers don't have a sense of humor? Here it is, the first of April and Mother Nature decides to drop several inches of snow on us -- so much snow that our flight to DC was delayed by an hour! Don't worry, we made it in one piece, so look for some cherry blossom pictures sometime in the next week!
