A Day in DC with Kit and Annika

On Wednesday June 9th, we had Katja's follow up doctor's appointment. She was diagnosed with an ear infection in both ears. This is the first ear infection for either girl! Bring on the amoxicillin!

After we got the prescription, we met up in DC with Kyla's college friend Katherine (Kit) Kensrud and her daughter Annika. They are here site seeing while Ryan is working in the area. We had lunch at the Air and Space Museum. (Notice the Shrek Happy Meal toys.) Then we went to play in the Botanical Gardens!


The girls loved playing in the children's garden area! Fountains in the rain are so much fun! Water for everyone!


Kyla loves these flowers.


The children's garden has a little house to play. The girls taking a peek inside.


Big smiles from our big girls!

Luella is becoming quite the photographer! She took this picture of Kyla and Kit! After a few hours we had to part ways for naps and beating commuter traffic. It was lots of fun catching up and we can't wait to do it again in Minnesota!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
