Leesburg Animal Park with Griffin and Coco.

Spargelfest

With Vivienne visiting Rock Creek Horse Center. We met a nice groom who let us into stalls to pet horses. Not surprisingly the one named Princess Lea was a favorite.

Scottie and Nelly graduated from Blue Igloo. I hope they can get jobs quickly.

“Mommy, us playing Annie Lou!”

Nicole and I took Teddy and Zoe to South Mountain Creamery to see the farm where our milk, eggs and butter come from. It was so nice. The calves were so cute (though Teddy and Zoe were more into the farm cat). It made me reconsider eating any meat. I’ve been a vegetarian for a year here and there, I don’t eat lamb, veal, pork or red meat. But maybe I should eat chicken or fish. I think vegetarianism is good from a health and humanitarian stand. It’s hard when others you are around aren’t. I want the children to try everything so that they can then make
Their own choice about this so I don’t preach an attitude and I have the occasional burger myself anyway. But I shouldn’t. And when they see anti- meat ad campaigns I tell them directly what the situation is.

I loved working on the teacher appreciation lunch at NCRC and celebrating teacher appreciation week with the kids. We have all the teachers notes and Starbucks cards and even sent Carol, our favorite teacher, a J Crew hoodie.

We went to Flower Mart where no one wanted to get off the carousel so we rode it six times and then we taught the girls how to lick an ice cream cone. Such fun.

A couple weeks ago Greg, Carolyn and Milly were here (Hannah was in town for a choir performance) and Abai, Kurt and Juan were here for Sidwell. I had so much fun with all the people hanging at our house and MJ had fun hosting then staying out with friends super late.
