home and home

Al got back on Saturday from a week long work trip to Hong Kong and mainland China. Iris and I were/are very happy to have her back! We spent the afternoon hanging around DuPont Circle, being semi-tourists at home. It was a beautiful day and Al wasn't feeling the affects of jet lag quite yet (now she is).
We haven't taken any pictures yet of baby #2! This is in the alley next to our appartment. I recall Dad being pretty funny at this moment.

Iris and "our" metro station

Iris loved doing laps around the fountain at DuPont Circle

Cape Cod

One of the biggest highlights of the summer was a Milne vacation to Cape Cod. My folks rented a house in Eastham while they were on home break and Jay, Lisa, girls and us went for a week. It was wonderful, we had a ton of fun and a beautiful week. Wonderful other than my absessed tooth, but nothing a root canal couldn't fix!

We stopped on our way to the Cape in NYC to see Mike, Alice and Annalise. It had been a long time and it was great to catch up.

Iris ready for the beach (hat and shoes came off in seconds, never to be donned again)

cousins

I don't blame her, but Iris was never still at the beach, she loved chewing on stones the most.

Al and the youngest cousins.

We celebrated Mom's birthday with some surf and turf...mmm.
