I just deleted a babbling paragraph about exactly how much I adore Washington DC. I’ve said that before, haven’t I? I’ll say it again: THIS PLACE IS AWESOME. We’ve been here for over a month and it continues to feel like an extended vacation. Before the temptation to ramble about exactly how thrilled we are, let’s just cut to the chase and get to the good stuff: photos of Ben!
Disclaimer: I truly have taken Ben to places where, like, living people are. It hasn’t all been graveyards, honestly. Keeping that in mind, let us proceed to catch you all up on Ben’s busy social life in DC…
Hey everyone! Just a few new photos of Ben’s recent adventures. He recently acquired his own luxury pool and visited The Air and Space Museum. Both were fun and provided a shameless excuse to take even more photos of him (because lord knows we don’t have enough). More soon!
The public has demanded new photos of Ben (and by “the public has demanded” I mean “A friend casually asked if I was still doing ‘that baby blog thing’”)! Ask and ye shall receive. Here are some from the past few weeks including a visit with grandma and grandpa, seeing his honorary Uncle Danny and TC, taking his first swim, chillin’ in a hotel and enjoying his new house.
As I write this, Ben and I are sitting in our lovely new home, surrounded by endless unpacked boxes and chaos. To say that the move was harrowing is an understatement. Everything that possibly could have gone wrong did (the movers deciding to not show up at all, Kurt’s car breaking down twice, disorganized realtors, things getting broken, being unable to fit everything in the truck etc etc). I’m convinced that Kurt and I were Nazi war criminals in a past life to deserve such a fate (the one bright point is the couple who bought our condo. They couldn’t have been sweeter. Wish we’d met them prior to all this… We would definitely have been friends). Any lingering nostalgia for our hometown was quickly extinguished by the experience.
In stark contrast, the move to Alexandria couldn’t have been smoother. What little of the city we’ve seen so far, we absolutely adore. With so many exotic food options, there is a very real chance that I will soon tip the scales at 400 lbs.
Once were fully settled in, there will be a massive new post complete with pictures galore of an increasingly cute Ben (who seems unfazed by all this change). In the meantime, please check out some of the links posted on the right side. They’re blogs by friends of ours and links to various causes we support. Enjoy!
