Rachel always loved lemons, but she used to make "the face" with every bite. She still eats them, with salt, today.

I Spoke Too Soon
So ever since I wrote that Erin doesn't laugh all that much she has decided to begin laughing at all sorts of things. Maybe I should post that we are frustrated that she doesn't do calculus or paint masterpieces yet...

4th of July
We had quite the 4th here. My Mom, my sisters Sarah and Lauren, and Aunt Lu came down to spend the holiday with us. The day began with a lot of BBQing and eating. Later we pulled it together to watch the fireworks on the National Mall. The crowd was large, but generally everyone was pleasant and we had a great time.
When we first arrived it was pouring and apparently there was a tornado warning in effect. We sat near the Capitol with the hope that we would hear the National Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately we were unable to hear a sound. Regardless the fireworks were amazing as they exploded behind the Washington Monument.
As you can see, Erin had her usual good time. And yes those are earplugs in her little ears...
Leaving the District was insane as hundreds of thousands of people pushed their way on to the Metro. It took nearly 2 hours to get home because of the number of people travelling. I think next year we will watch from the Virginia side of the river and just avoid the insanity. That being said, I am happy we went this year.

Catching Up Part 1
It has been way too long since I last updated this, so here it goes. I should have a little time to myself today and tomorrow so I hope to catch up on the blog.
Erin is nearly crawling, now she is doing the whole "rocking" thing. It is all downhill from here as she will begin to get into everything and won't want to be held as much. She still doesn't laugh all that much, it takes quite an effort to get her going enough to laugh out loud. I think she is just much more reserved than Rachel ever was at this age and it takes a lot more work to get her going.
Rachel spent her 1st night away from home last night. She is in New Jersey with my family and is having a blast. Somehow I knew she wouldn't miss us one bit! I guess if I was getting spoiled like she is right now I wouldn't miss us either!
Also, Rachel has begun swim lessons and I hope that she can swim on her own by the end of summer. I think that would be great.
