Our 2nd fall in DC

After a fun (and busy summer) of travel, friends and family, time to get back to DC and back to school!

First day of school (4th, 6th, 8th and 10th grades)

Look what we got!! Meet Kelby (mean "My Dog" in Arabic.  Our little 5 pound bundle of scared pooch.

Look how little!

Meredith snuggled up with him helping him get used to his new crate.  They both feel asleep together!







I'm working at my computer and he's sleeping at my feet.  So-ooo nice!




Our Syrian refugee mentee family made me this wonderful walnut tea during my visit

Anna's first dippin' dots  - she gives them a thumbs up.


Abu Dhabi book club reunion in DC!

Meredith and her friend babysat Kelby when I went to family day at Regan's school

Kelby was very popular at Madeira!

I got to visit Regan's math, coding and dance classes at Regan's school



Meredith's softball team.  She had a great season - got stronger at batting and tried out pitching for a couple of games (and did really, really well)

Quick solo trip to High Hampton to look at a lot and house.  



Introducing Kelby to our neighbor's swimming pool

Girls got gift cards to "Crumbs and Whiskers" for Christmas - we're finally cashing them in at the cat cafe






Anna and I had a special breakfast one day - cupcake pancakes for Anna at IHOP!

Jane running hard at a cross-country meet.




Kelby is in there somewhere surrounded by squealing girls!

Meredith's team ended on a good note with a big win - Meredith pitched well and knocked in her 2nd home run for the season.

Time for the Girls on the Run 5K at Anacostia Park

Anna did great with Jane as her running buddy.  As usual, I was pretty far behind!



Jake and Anna took a weekend trip to High Hampton and met Carl and Lynne.  Jake thought he would rent a really fun car!
