So much

So much, soooooo much has happened since my last post!

Here's a synopsis:

We went to my old stomping grounds, Washington, D.C.!  Here are some highlights:

My favorite monument...


Sitting with mama in her old chair.  Might we have a future press secretary in the works...?


Sitting in my old boss, Sen. Enzi's chair...



On a tour of the Capitol building.  Here we are in the Rotunda...


Highlight number 2?  We bought a new couch!  FINALLY!  The couch I bought after moving back from D.C., was in pretty shabby shape.  I hadn't anticipated a husband, two black labs and a baby when I purchased it.  Now we have the couch we want: leather, nail heads, sophisticated, not shabby...


Doesn't it look like it's always belonged here?  I was sad to see the old couch go, I admit.  It was a sleeper and I firmly believe we need one of those with the visitors we get.  But Todd didn't want to try to jam it downstairs, and let's face it, it was in poor condition, so to the dump it went.


We went to Wisconsin!  And Rosie and her cousins in Omaha got to meet for the first time!

But first, we hung out with Great Grandma Kittel and Grandma Kittel...


Rosie ate in a high chair at a restaurant for the first time...


We ate lunch with Paul Bunyon and Babe...


Met Great Aunt Barbara...


And second cousin Kim...


Then on to the cousins!  Tess, Owen and Judd meeting Rosie for the first time...


Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Sears...


We cheered Raymond on at his all-star baseball game...


All the cousins together!


There's more, but this gives you a pretty good idea.
