The White House

We were fortunate to have Corky & Meg visit us over Quinn\’s birthday weekend. Quinn had a great time playing with Grampa and Grandma Meg and learned their names. On Saturday we took the ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. It was a gray day, but we stayed dry and Lady Liberty always looks good.

Here\’s Don and Corky listening to the audio tour.

I took this picture a couple of days ago and it was too cute not to post. Don got him the hat on a business trip and Quinn loves to wear it on his head backwards, which is way cute. Do you love the gorilla on the front of the shirt 🙂

The birthday party was alot of fun with 8 little boys and 1 adorable little girl. We\’ve made some really great friends, mostly through the local holistic moms group, and it was fun to get together for a couple of hours of chaos and celebration. I got some good advice from Stacey McGee that kids really enjoy an unstructured party so we didn\’t plan anything other than cake.

I got a shot of everyone as they were leaving. Unfortunately I was having some camera problems, so these were all shot with my iphone.

Robin and her guys Jasper and Milo — they gave/received hugs from Quinn before leaving

Erin and her guys Max and Luke.

Max and Jasper are great friends — can you tell how much fun they were having?

Heather with Matthew and Lala, as she\’s affectionaly known

Amy and Alec (Amy is a flight attendant and frequently jets off to London or Paris for a weekend of work.)

Alison and Fraser (Alison is an NC State Alumni (go pack!) and is pregnant). She also recently quit her job which makes me very happy 😉

It was so nice to be able to celebrate Quinn\’s birthday with new friends.
