frreezzing!

We wanted to take a trip to DC.  The day we picked turned out to be very cold, but it was the day we had so off we went.  Mom decided to stay home, she's been having a lot of pain in her legs which it turns out is coming from a back issue.  Hopefully she will be able to get that fixed once she gets home.  Walking is very painful for her and she didn't want to do the trek with us.  As soon as we go the kids to school and the dogs walked we headed out and drove down to the metro.  We rode in to the Archives stop and then visited the Archives.  We saw the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution and some other pillars of democracy.  After a quick visit there we bundled back up and trudged across the mall to the Air & Space Museum.  It was a lovely day.  We enjoyed some #1 combos from McD, and some great museuming, and some fun chatting.
This picture of us is poor of us both, I look particularly ridiculous but like the weather it was what we had so there you go.

We made it home before 5 and then spent the evening with the family.  We went to Chinese food, dad's favorite, and watched a movie.  It's a wonderful part of each night to gather around the living room and read the scriptures and pray, I am enjoying having mom and dad here for that part too.

Lu is getting The Cold.  It deserves caps because it is pretty miserable.  I sent her to school with Tylenol and cough meds in her and feel bad for her.  Sadly, if recent history proves correct it will be over a week before she feels well so she has to carry on despite.

Dani's been instagraming TBT's. I was so surprised to see this picture.  We took swimming lessons together with Val and Brittan.  The other Dopplets also took lessons in a different part of the pool.  It was really fun.  Dani was a cute little mermaid, despite the worried look on her face!  The crazy thing is I remember being worried about how "fat" I was and having to be in a swimsuit in public...could I please have that fat bod back??!
