Go Navy!

Yesterday Josh and I met up with the Paul Family to go to the last Navy home game of the season (Versus Temple). It was a beautiful day- in the 70's for the most part- and we all had a lot of fun!

We know the Paul's through Mom and Dad A and have had a great time getting to know them better while we live in the D.C./Maryland area. The last time we got together we went to the Baltimore Aquarium- another great time!

We happened to leave with 5 minutes left to the game thinking Navy would lose (it was 7-27), and somehow Navy managed to pull it together and won 33-27 in overtime!!!

Awww...we coordinated blue and gold for the game- how cheesy ;)

Thanks for a great afternoon Paul Family!

Fire Drills

This is what we have to say about fire drills that go on for an hour:

(can you see the red beady eyes??)


Oh dear...I hope he doesn't expect me to give him food to console him...


Josh's unwavering focus the first 10 minutes...

...And then comes the reaction the other two of us had (Edgar and I).."This is making me crazy!"

Green BEANS and Onion goggles!

Well, most of you know about our dear guinea pig Edgar...and many of you have had the great pleasure of meeting him...but he hasn't made too much of an appearance on our blog, so we thought we'd give him an opportunity to show you how much he really loves his green beans! Click on video to see our cutie in action underneath the coffee table :).




I also thought I'd post some fun pictures from hanging out with Luke and Erika lately. Erika laughed at me when she saw I had onion goggles (yes, they REALLY work!) until she realized how much she needed them when I asked her to dice some shallots hehe.....

We also have enjoyed playing a new card/word game (kinda like text twist) with my mom and Luke and Erika on various occasions...it's called Quiddler!

Stay posted for pics of the 5k race we're going to run (Josh, myself, Luke, and Erika) next Saturday! We will be sad to see Luke and Erika move to CA....we sure do have a lot of fun with them :)
