Every Thursday morning, we head over to Gaithersburg (usually with the Heit's, Turman's, and Reese's) to the City Hall Concert Pavilion. There's always a show of some sort--puppet shows, music, dancing, everything fun for kids. Last week an Irish folk singer had plenty of songs to keep the kids entertained!
Cate keeps cool with her juice
We sometimes head to the park right next to the pavilion to let the kids play after the show, but it was way too hot for that. We went to Costco instead! Smoothies and frozen yogurt are good for you in such hot, sticky weather!
Lizzie loves the movie Cars, so Chris took her to see Cars 2 last weekend. She was so excited to see the movie "on a REALLY big TV!"
One problem...she fell asleep on the way to the theater and she wouldn't wake up! After a few unsuccessful attempts to wake Liz, Chris put her back in her car seat and they came home, where she continued to nap. They're going to try again tomorrow! :)
On Saturday we headed over to the Heit's to celebrate Jeff's birthday! Lois made a FABULOUS chocolate cake, complete with chocolate mousse and chocolate ganache, in addition to homemade strawberry sorbet. Heaven on a plate. It was such a fun night with the Heit's and Turman's, as always. The kids had to help with the candles!
Happy Birthday Jeff!
Cate is climbing on everything and taking more and more steps around the house. She's gaining more confidence daily. She has recently learned how to pull herself up to the Toy Story table so she can join Lizzie at lunch time.
Cate has also learned how to climb onto the coffee table and dance! Lizzie joined her--aren't they so much fun?
Busting a move ;)
Superstar sisters!
At this week's show in the pavilion, Eager Beaver and his friends did some magic tricks for the kids. Lizzie ran up to the front of the stage like she usually does, but this time when they asked for volunteers, she ran RIGHT onto the stage! She loved helping and holding the magic hat!
We've done some shopping at Bed, Bath, and Beyond this week (another NJ wedding reception next month!) Lizzie found these tiny alarm clocks--that's what she's holding in her hand.
See you next week!

Such cute girls, and Cate is so big! I can't believe we haven't even MET her yet!
I love how proud and sassy Cate looks in these, like saying, look, mom, I'm all grown up! Glad things aren't too hot out there for you - and we haven't had any rain here for a while, so enjoy the breeze at least. :)
Liz's hair is getting so long! It's so pretty. And I can't believe how old Cate is looking! Where did your baby go?
Mary your children are so adorable and Lizzie is getting so big!! I miss you!
