Well the winter was long and cold, and seemed like it would never end (seriously, frost warnings in May in Virginia are just WRONG), but summertime is finally here, if not yet officially by the calendar then certainly by the weather. We’ve had plenty of rainy days, but the nice days have been beautiful for enjoying the outdoors with the babies.

We completed our project of moving our dining room set into the formal living room, and have gated off the dining room as a new play area for the kids, who had totally outgrown the “baby jail” play yard. On Memorial Day we kept to our tradition of going to the City of Falls Church Memorial Day festival, where Candy was performing with the Falls Church Concert Band. The concert was great and the babies definitely enjoyed the music. Veronica in particular has become very into music, swaying her head and dancing along whenever she hears a melody. You can see for yourselves in the video link below.

The twins also took their first carousel ride at Dulles Town Center, a reward for being well behaved during our trip to buy them their first real shoes. Now that Riley is cruising and Veronica has begun pulling herself up, walking can only be right around the corner! We also went to our friends’ daughter Sarah’s 2nd birthday party, and met up with Tony & Jen and Allan and their kids (finally!) for a long delayed lunch out at Generous George’s.

This weekend we went to the Potomac Celtic Festival. Riley loved the bagpipes and Irish dancing girls, and Veronica couldn’t wait to get on the stage and show off some step-dancing of her own.
