Independence Day





Well, we have now been here in Washington, DC for two weeks. It has been a good experience already. This last week was also the 4th of July and Rebecca's birthday. To celebrate we decided to go and see some of the sites on Arlington National Cemetary; they included the Eternal Flame (JFK's grave), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and several other smaller memorials such as the mast of the USS Maine. We walked through the cemetary, which was really nice, and there are some great views looking out over DC. That night we watched fireworks in our backyard and had an icecream cake that Rebecca had picked out. The little boys were exhaused. They seem to be handling the move very well, partially due to the close park and the swimming pool which they visit almost daily. Life is going great.

How fun! Having a pool is the best...we swim everyday and Janie and Anna are turning into great little swimmers. I'm glad you are doing so great!

Looks like you are enjoying Washington. Don't forget the sunblock =). We're glad that everything seems to be working out nicely.
