In our first attempt to capture the cuteness of Moxie in a dress I wore.
Month: May 2013
Last night we got to host one of Moxie’s baby friends. While her parents saw a movie we got to play. Grandma and grandpa are in town so it was really fun. Moxie went to bed after her bath and some naked time (seen below) and Natalie got some one on four fun time. She enjoyed petting the pups, playing music on the porch with Ron and Carmen, and packing and unpacking her diaper bag. So. Cute.
Well, we joined a CSA. Yep. I’ve been wanting to but not committing for years. This year, now a family of three, we took the plunge.
Becky, Brian and Owen hosted a fabulous party. It was epic. We had a great time. Becky was kind enough to take a couple pictures of our family. Moxie also got some Owen time. She liked that part best.
Sometimes we skip the bib.
While waiting for Tom and I to get delicious food at Max’s Strider and Moxie tried to take some selfies. Not sure if that is a word but there, I used it.
Our girl has a wonderful smile.
We had several adventures with our visiting friend. While Tom was here he and Jess decided to try oysters. We went to Union Market and things got crazy. Oyster crazy. We tried three different kinds. Tom gave them a thumbs up. Jess not so much.
Moxie, Ruby and I got to go to the White House Easter Egg Roll. Super. Freaking. Cool. Strider was in Colorado defending his dissertation so us girls made the trip. We rode the metro, ate food truck food, and waited in really long lines. Seriously. The lines were longer for this than the inauguration. We got to see some performances and also ate Peeps. YUM.
Ruby is a veteran Easter Egg Roller so she showed us the ropes. Moxie liked the grass and my water bottle best. My favorite part was the dance off I had with the President. I won.

Tom came to visit and it was wonderful. We played, ate delicious food (not Moxie), drank beers (not Moxie), and stayed up in the night having fabulous conversations (not Moxie or Jess).
Tom has plans that Moxie’s first word will be “caterpillar.” We are working on it.
