May things

This weekend we hosted the 6th annual Vereb-b-q and we visited the Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day ... you know, the REAL reason we have a three-day weekend that just happens to coincide with the traditional start of summer. The visit to the Cemetery was awe-inspiring and certainly humbling. We hope to make it an annual tradition. And, another Vereb-b-q down ... an eternity to go. Sunday turned out to be a great day for a picnic, although it started a little shaky. At the moment the bbq was to begin, the rain started to fall. Luckily, my father-in-law is quite handy with setting up large tarps and that seemed ward off any bad weather vibes. The sun actually came out around 6, and sun or no sun; it didn't stop the little ones from slip 'n sliding. Food, of course, was fabulous. Hats off to Chef Stephen. Thanks to all for coming and spending a part of your weekend with us. Mothers' Day weekend was also earlier this month and we journeyed into Old Town Alexandria for an art show at the Torpedo Factory. Below are photos from some of the events, and not necessarily in the order of the narrative

Believe it or not, it was "created" on the 25th. Draft, of course, I just didn't have time to post the photos.
When all three of your kids can walk, we'll never even catch a glimpse of you.
