Dear Esther,

I am so sorry that I spelled your name wrong. I know full well how to spell "Esther" and feel bad for making the mistake. You have a beautiful name and deserve for someone to get it right especially when commenting on your own blog! Please forgive me.

Love,

Megan

Finally, the rest of the house pics

Welcome. Here's everything you see from the front door.Living Room
Half Bath. We are not sure we want to paint much downstairs. We are only renting...
Love our kitchen. It's quite an upgrade from our last home.

Michael did paint the walls in our kitchen. It was too cute not to paint.

Up to the second level, our laundry is in that door to the right.
I think the hallways are my favorite part of the house. Too bad it's not socially acceptable to have people over and put them in your hallway. We've got great space for it!
The landing on the second level right outside the master
Master bedroom. It's a little too brown at the moment. Not my cup of tea. There is a whole other sitting room that I was standing in to take this photo, but it's not picture worthy yet. So just come visit if you want to see it. And the bathroom, which I shared with you months ago, is to the left of the sitting room. It's still working.
Going up to the 3rd level
There are two more bedrooms that we use as a guest room and my office - neither of them are up to my standards, so maybe someday I will show them to you. Again, more great hallway space.
The guest bathroom. Nothing fancy.
So that's most of the house! Sorry family, for taking three months to get these pictures up. We love to have visitors so please come stay with us anytime!

Old Town to National Harbor

Saturday we took Brianna on the water taxi over to National Harbor. It was so fun! National Harbor is pretty new but is modeled after Las Ramblas in Barcelona, Spain. The streets are full of yummy restaurants, Disney is building a park there and there is a Cake Love shop. Michael and I are already planning out next trip back.

Hello Alexandria:
It started out rainy but ended up being a beautiful daySailing under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge

"Free"

We had to. You got a free meal (any meal you wanted) just for honoring the cows. I hope you all got to take advantage of Cow Appreciation Day on Friday! Who wants to pass up free chick-fil-a?

Cute Baby Alert

Well Lord, you did it again. Another adorable baby. Are there any left up in heaven for when it's my turn??? Everyone is always afraid that their newborn will look like E.T. But sweet Abrielle Lorenn Coles was so beautiful. Then again look at how beautiful her parents are:

(Just like to mention that I was the closest at guessing her correct weight and length. I think that means I'm her favorite Aunt.)

Beautiful Evening in Old Town

Thursday was spent with some of our favorite people dinning on a rooftop terrace of a restaurant on King Street. We are totally in our 20's.

Baby Laughter

My little cousin, Lyren, was so cute to have at the beach with us. She was so happy and made us laugh all the time. Michael took a short video of her belly-laughter:

It's funny how simply hearing a baby laugh can make you smile or even laugh yourself.
