Welcoming Summer

Duty called and Kacy and mom had to make a quick trip to Connecticut this week. Kacy got to enjoy some ice cream at Dairy Queen Monday night.

Tuesday, we convinced our friend Liz to play hooky and we hung out at her mom's pool. Kacy enjoyed her own "private" pool--unheated spa.

Courtney and Alessandra took part in hooky day, also. Baby Luca splashed around a bit in the water with Kacy. She can't wait until he is big enough to really swim with her.

Yesterday, we were in Hartsdale, NY for our friend Madison Tiedt's 6th grade graduation.

Kacy got to take her first ride in a convertible--a BMW no less--with the Tiedt girls.

Father's Day Fun With The Camera

Kacy and daddy took some pics on Sunday. Kacy has recently learned that she can pick up our cat. And our cat has surprisingly been fairly cool with being manhandled by a 3 1/2 year old. We are sure it will turn ugly at some point but for now both are playing nice.

Rounding Out Spring 2010

Elle McLand and mommy Lisa came to visit on Tuesday. They hitched a ride from Buffalo to DC with dad, who had work meetings. Kacy was happy to finally meet Elle!

Friday, after dropping Grandma and Grandpa off on Kent Island to pick up their new boat (!), we stopped at Sandy Point State Beach to check out the action there.

Today, the Glaser clan came up from Herndon to hang out. Becca and Kacy donned their matching Dora hats (courtesy of their super cool friend Louie) before heading to the pool.

Baby Zack, though Dora-hatless, was cute nonetheless.

Summer starts Monday (for those of you not up on your solstice calendar); spring 2010 gets a thumbs up and hopefully summer is just as fun!

Happy Father's Day

Kacy wishes her daddy a very happy Father's Day!

Hugs also to Grandpa...

...and GranDan!

Day Trip Across the Bay Bridge

Kacy and mom hitched a ride with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Mary yesterday across the Bay Bridge to Kent Island. We went to check out the latest contender on the Grandma-and-Grandpa-Grand-Boat-Search adventure.

Kacy's vote for a possible name for the possible new boat: Grandpa's New Future. We thought it was pretty good coming completely from her, but not sure it will make the short list. Beautiful weather, fun day!

Perfect Beach Day

The oppressive humidity cleared out yesterday morning, no better time to hit the beach. We know it won't last forever but we wish this weather would stay all summer!

Party Weekend

Kacy had a big party weekend. First up was her daycare friend RJ's 1st birthday bash on Saturday night. She of course picked butterfly when asked what she wanted her face to be painted as.

Sunday, we celebrated Abby Gehring's 2nd birthday...the gathering had a lot of Kacy's party-defining attributes. 1) Bubbles;

2) Fun games, in this instance, a roller coaster;

3) Cake;

4) And of course, party hats.

Abby's little sister Kate was into the hats, also.
