Julia rocks out at Levine School of Music

Julia and Graham love their harp-playing teacher, Miss Monica, during their Music and Movement classes each week at Levine. Miss Monica likes to open the children up to various music...from 50s "Rock around the Clock" to 60s Motown.

That's great, because here at home Graham and Julia usually sway to opera ("Toreador" from the opera "Carmen" is a Favorite) or your basic Brahms for night time sleeping.

Good night!

Fire Station Field Trip

With fire hats on their heads, Graham and Julia and their Intown comrades visited a fire station. The trucks were big, the Firemen were big (from a 19 month-old's eyes!), and everything was, well, maybe just too 'big' for little Julia and Graham...

Here are some shots from the day. I don't think, at least today, that either baby will become a fireman or woman...it was a bit much for them!

BUT, Graham loves his firetrucks, and watching as Engine station #7 on Capitol Hill regularly drives by with its siren on...he has taken to making sounds like the sirens...go figure!
Enjoy...

Happy Halloween!

As always, we got many many trick or treaters on the Hill (easily 1,500, if not more)...we had many helpers this year, a party with food etc...
And...Graham and Julia .. Graham was a monkey and Julia, a 'spring fairy' (whatever, she got to wear wings and sparkly pink shoes!)...
We all had a lovely time...here are some shots...

If the shoe fits (or doesn't) ...

Ah, breaking into daddy's closet was such fun recently...Graham (first shot) got to try on his father's shoes...
And Julia found her grandmother's necklace and wanted to know if it matched her shoes (ahem) as well...

Graham shakes the maracas

October Beach Days on the Eastern Shore

We visited "Nana" on the Eastern Shore a couple of weeks ago.

The weather was lovely...hot. Graham and Julia had a chance to don their beach clothes again, play in the sand and chase seagulls.
