Update...Finally!

Hello All!  I realize that this post is long overdue.  It has been a busy couple of months.  First, as promised, photos of our new townhouse!

The three pictures below are pictures of our first floor.

I will post more pictures of the house now that we have mostly finished the moving process.  I haven't yet taken them, so that will be another post in the near future!

Since moving into the townhouse, we have made a couple of purchases, some because we needed too and others because we wanted too.  One of the first items that we purchased was a barbeque!  Since we now have a backyard and a small deck, we decide that it was it would be a fun to cook on a barbeque instead of cooking steaks and hotdogs in a pan or microwave.  Also, we had to purchase a lawn mower and a weed whacker because we have a yard now!  The good news is that we don't have to mow the law ALL winter long because grass doesn't grow while it is cold (freezing) outside. We also purchased items to finish our guestroom!

Speaking of guest, we have had a few people stay at the house since we moved.  Tyler Cronk, Jack's friend from college, took the train from Boston in October to hang out for a long weekend.  We explored various places in DC and spent quite a bit of time in Old Town Alexandria.  The boys also made a stop by our favorite butcher shop in Del Rey and picked up steaks and kangaroo.  That was an interesting experience!

Meg and Cole, Jack's sister and nephew, also came to stay with us during October!  We explored downtown DC as well as the Natural History Museum.  Cole's favorite things were the "Lincoln Ammorial" and playing video games in the evening after long days of walking.  He also enjoyed riding the trains to and from DC! Below are pictures from their visit!

Jack and I also have made it to Mount Vernon and will be traveling to New York in two weekends.  I will leave those adventures for later blogs though.  : )  Enjoy family and friends and Happy Holidays to everyone! We miss you. 

Lots of love,
Jack and Jill
