Harvest Road Times- July 10, 2012

During the power outage, Emily had a lot of down time.  So, she decided to start a truly local newspaper, The Harvest Road Times.  It started as a weekly, handwritten publication (no computer during the outage), but for the second edition, they opted to computerize!  Emily, Sarah & Caroline work hard to collate and distribute copies of the HRT (circulation 17)!



Friends Concert- July 6, 2012

While we were powerless, the girls were in band camp at Friends.  They had a beautiful concert to close the program.

Sarah was in the percussion section, and Emily was the oboe.

The Big Storm- June 30-July 5, 2012

Around 10:00 PM Friday night, a big storm was a-brewing, and our power went out for a week.  Good times.  Our beloved friend Michael Hill kindly took us in, and we had a quite the fun time hanging out at his place!  We still owe him an Orioles game.

Trees were down all around us, but we were very lucky!

Sarah had math work to do!


On our second night there, we noted Daniel was awfully quiet.  We went looking, and discovered Daniel curled up on Michael's bed fast asleep.  I was mortified, but thankfully, he thought it was cute!

We had stuff all over Michael's house!

April was a trooper!  She liked to keep an eye on Daniel.

Daniel had a full day of playing!

You know he can't resist a dishwasher!
  

BMA- June 29, 2012

We went on an adventure with our neighbor to explore the BMA.  The guards kept a close eye on us as we went from room to room!  Some parts were more entertaining for the kids than others, but all in all, everyone had a grand time.




Baseball with Papa- June 25, 2012

We went sightseeing in Mount Vernon, where we explored the original Washington Monument and the Peabody Library.  Later, Papa and Daniel played a bit of baseball in the front yard.


Orioles- June 24, 2012

Papa and B'dette joined us as we attended our first Orioles game (well, not Greg's first game . . . he went many times in his youth).  The Orioles won, with a home run hit by Matt Wieters!  Daniel was thrilled to see Kevin (the Bird), but only from a distance.  Somewhere, there is a picture of Papa with Daniel at the Kevin statue, but I can not find it!
