A Fun Day Together

As we prepare for going abroad there are a bunch of steps leading up to the final goal: working and living abroad in an embassy. What is my favorite part about these preparations is the fact that we get to take so many steps together, as a family. A couple of days ago we headed downtown for our medical clearances. Afterwards we got to share our picnic lunch with Daddy in DC (Maddy calls it "Daddy's City"--DC. I think we better let the urban planners know that there has been a change to the meaning behind 'DC.') It was a beautiful day on the lawns near the Jefferson Memorial. Maddy absolutely loves playing with balls and frisbees ("spisbees"), so she and Caleb got some frisbee-throwing and hide-and-seek in before he had to head back to the office. We had a fun afternoon together; one step closer to your dream, Sweets, and one more day growing closer together.
