Riding on Dad's Bicycle

Isaac has been talking a lot about wanting to ride on Dad's bicycle and wear his own helmet - and today he got his wish!

Ready to roll!


Dad and Isaac biked all around town - to the Mall, past the monuments, over into VA and back.  Isaac was eager to go out again the next day for an even longer trip to watch airplanes taking off and landing at the airport.

Farewell to James

After nine months of DC play dates, it was time to bid farewell to James before his family heads to their next post in Viet Nam.

Isaac invited some of his James' friends over for a farewell brunch.


James spent his last night in town with Isaac, and commissioned his mom to read a favorite train book.

Whale tub fun.


A bon voyage bath.
