Welcome to our "new blog." We have officially moved to Maryland and having more than one bathroom is truly as wonderful as we all imagined. We are also eager to get going on our list of "must sees" while we are living so close to our nations capital. Seth is working at the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Bethesda for 3-5 years so we have time to do it all. We love staying connected with family and friends through blogging so thanks for stopping by!

A Very Bryner Thanksgiving!

Our dear friends the Bryners came to visit for Thanksgiving! They stayed for almost a whole week and enjoyed a lot of DC sightseeing. We played games (Spot It!), ate great food, and had a wonderful time together.

Everybody took time to write down what they were thankful for on paper leaves. We then turned the leaves into garland that we hung up for all to see. We had a great feast and with four cooks in the kitchen nobody was left doing all the work. The apple pie, pumpkin roll, and stuffing were my favorites.  Conrad enjoyed his first Thanksgiving and especially enjoyed the mashed potatoes.

The Bryners brought each of the kids a new Christmas book which we all enjoyed reading. We especially enjoyed “Mr. Wiollowby’s Christmas Tree.”  Conrad and Jude became instant buddies and Jude showed Conrad how to maneuver the dreaded dining room step drop off. We all went into the District the Saturday after Thanksgiving to visit the memorials and attempt family pictures. We also visited the Natural History museum and ate at a delicious Neapolitan Pizza place called 2Amys.  It was a random cold day but we all had a great time.

Kelly and I fell in love with this house when we walked by on our way to the Pizza place!  So charming!
