Playtime with the Allen's

Open Receiver

Lucy - "Hey uncle Greg... I'm open, pass it to me!!!! I'm open!!!"


Lucy - "... thanks for nothing uncle Greg."

The Battle... for the Backyardigans ball!

Ding! Ding!... Fight!


Lucy's there first but Max is coming in for the grab...


Uh oh... Lucy takes notice of Max's move and quickly get in position for her next move.


Lucy throws in her signature "Forearm Leg Sweep" without any hesitation.

Max tries to dodge the deadly strike, but Lucy is too fast...

Max is a tough competitor but he had no chance against the older and walking Lucy...

Down he goes!

And, your winner... Lucy Katherine!

A Day In the Park...

XOXOXO

Smooch... smooch.

"Hello handsome..."

The Champ!

Here's a picture of me and Max getting ready for our morning jog. I found a fun 2 mile stretch around our new home and "The Champ" was ready for a real workout... sitting on his butt in his stroller.


This is from another picture that I found after I zoomed into it but here you can see all of his pearly white.

Fun Filled Weekend at the Zoo and Cox Farms

Over the gorgeous weekend, we maximized every last bit of the final days of Summer. On Saturday we went to the Zoo and Max got to see elephants, gorillas, lions, tigers, turtles, and alligators, etc. He didn't care too much for anything except for the animals behind glass enclosures that he would bang on.


These pics are from Cox Farms in Chantilly. It was a lot better than I would have thought a farm could be but basically Max had a killer time on the slides, seeing the animals up close and personal, and posing in some fun pics.


Max meets his first goat.

With gas prices on the rise, public transportation not only saves money but it's good for the environment. Thank you for helping save the world Max.


This is our new family van... as you know the economy sucks right now and we've had to downsize.


Whee!


Yahoo!


This thing was a little scary but it was pretty fun for a slide at a farm.


Here's Max with the Tarry's who showed us a great time on the farm.

A fun filled day in DC!

Saturday morning we went to the Eastern Market to have breakfast. We had Blue Buck pancakes, bacon, a Mexicano omelet with potatoes and toast. And it was fantastic... especially the bacon.


Then we went cruising around in Max's new stroller...


Then it was mommy's turn to push Max around.


We eventually made it out to the Natural History Museum... it was PACKED!!!! Good thing the new stroller was so nimble. We got the B.O.B Revolution with the 12" wheels in the back not the 16" and it's fantastic for anyone that cares.


We found a little alcove to hide and had a chance to take a picture with mommy.... Enough rest... on to the exhibits!


"Hey daddy, did you see THAT! The cat and the bird and the brown unicorn with the double horns... WoW!!!"


Here we are with America's dirt... Yawn...


That sword fish eye is about as big as Max's head.


Here's Max petting his pet primate... how cute... and a little disturbing.


"... uh... mom... there's a big scary fish behind you... let's get out of here..."


Just around the corner... Max find's himself locked eye to eye with a Great White Shark... The only words Max could think of as he soiled his diaper was, "Oh, snap..."


He wastes no time and makes a mad dash to his escape. That was close.
