Enjoying a cool treat on the mall
Checking out the bugs at the museum
Aubrey loved getting to hold a real caterpillar!
Another carousel ride on the mall
Getting ready to get on the train
First metro ride
A keeps talking about how we got to ride underground.
A is fascinated by spiders, especially this poisonous tarantula. She already knew about this orange & black one from her spider book, so she was excited to see it up close.It's hard to believe we've already been in VA for 2 weeks! Things are still going well -- we're getting more and more familiar with our surroundings and have gotten into a pretty good "temporary" routine, since we're still camping in.
-Our house is officially packed and the moving truck will be heading out tomorrow. Our stuff will arrive next week, by Wed. at the latest.
-We also have a contract on the house and the buyers are scheduled to close on Aug. 15, so that's an answer to prayer!
-The kids seem to be doing well and playing well with the 1 box of toys we packed -- blocks, legos, cars & trucks and animals. Today I heard Aubrey playing school with her animals and telling the class, "Jupiter is made of mostly gases and has 16 moons". Can you tell her favorite book lately is her children's encyclopedia? I think not having a tv has been a really good thing for our daily routine, we hope it sticks once we do have it here.
-We took our first ride on the metro into DC on Saturday and went to the Natural History museum and hung out on the mall b/t the Capital and the Washington Monument. Aubrey rode the carousel and had a popsicle and Will ran around and chased birds the whole time.
-We're looking forward to a visit from Gigi this weekend!
-Hopefully, I'll get caught up on pictures soon. Here are a few from our weekend...

It was good to catch up a little bit today. I can't believe how close you are to some really cool stuff! Glad you can take advantage of it. :o)
Glad you all are enjoying your new home. Aubrey and Will are so cute! Aubrey is smart. Give the kids a hug for me.
Fun to see all these things! It'll be weird for you to not be in Austin when we return, but we're excited for your new life.
Chickpea loves metros, too!
Hey, Everyone! I am SO excited about coming to see you all and am in the process of getting ready to go. Such great news about the house in Round Rock! I will call you tomorrow when we get there and see you bright and early on Sat. Get ready because I'm bringing lots of hugs and kisses with me!
