Photo Shoot Military Style

At the President's Hospital, National Naval Medical Center, they offer free photos of the baby's born there. Talia was asleep for the photo shoot up until the point that Mia decided that "she should be awake in the pictures". Mind you, Mia was gentle in her waking methods, but that caused for various interesting faces. One might say, um personality.

I think I'll go for a walk outside. . .

Maryland weather is kind of finicky. We had been enjoying moderate temperatures of the 70's without much humidity. That was not to last long as humidity found it's way back to Maryland making a 80 degree day unbearable. We tried to make the best of it at the park, but realized later that the sprinklers in the yard would have been more enjoyable.

Rain and unused snow boots helped us decide to go puddle jumping. Strangely, the sidewalks were level enough to prevent many big puddles from forming so we opted for some muddy street puddles in our community's parking lot. When we ran out of puddles, we had to use our imagination to pretend the sidewalk squares were really big puddles of water. I am sure that the people driving by were more than confused to see me and the kids running and jumping onto the sidewalk. To make it even better, our jumps were followed by funny faces we thought we would make if we just got soaked by water.
