The White House

We are very lucky to have Mae visiting for the week and had an extra special treat when we also got to see Brad.  Brad was in NY for the week training and had a brief break before he had to fly to his next training destination.  We picked him up at his hotel near La Guardia airport.  We had a couple of extra minutes to checkout the airplanes in the near by parking lot.  Notice the cute father-son shorts 🙂

We took Brad to breakfast and had some extra time so we hit a nearby playground.  It was a great chance to catch up with Brad while Quinn got to work off some energy.  And lots of opportunities for photos.

We don\’t get to see Brad very often so it was great to have an opportunity to spend even a couple of hours with him.  And a rare opportunity for Mae to celebrate Mother\’s Day with her 3 favorite guys together!

On Friday we had friends over for an afternoon playdate.   It\’s been a while since we\’ve had the boys together for a playdate and the last time wasn\’t so successful.  Lucas is about 8 months older than Quinn and a little bit higher energy.  This time they had so much fun together.  I\’ve never seen Quinn be so interactive and verbal with another child.   Of course they had the usual kid tug-o-wars but it was all part of the fun.  Things started to go down hill (for Quinn) near the end so I smoothed things over with a popsicle.  Popsicles can resolve alot of issues 😉

A couple of weeks ago Quinn came home from school with this request.

So we went out rock hunting and found the perfect rock.  On Thursday Quinn came home from school with this.

I was impressed.  Much more elaborate than I was expecting.  He\’s named her Molly Mouse.

Quinn also came home with this gem.

My first handmade Mother\’s Day card 🙂
