Weekend in Maryland

This weekend Dave had a regatta down in Rock Hall, MD, so we decided to stay at a bed and breakfast and make a weekend of it. Unfortunately it rained, but that didn't stop Sophie and me from exploring the area (we both just had several bad hair days). Dave won so everyone had a great weekend!

What you can't see in this picture are the purple hand that Sophie got from touching the Iris. I had to scrub them for about 5 minutes to get all of the purple off. Good to know for future dyeing projected I guess...

A Day in the Park

The weather here has been amazing! Last weekend, which was Mother's Day weekend, we decided to do a little picnic in the Azalea Garden, which is a few blocks from our house. Sophie loved running around with her shoes off and Benson loved running around unleashed.

 Soph enjoyed swatting at the azalea bushes. You can see how hard she's working by the tongue hanging out of her mouth.

Random Updates

So, Sophie officially has a first word. I've been avoiding blogging about it in the hopes that maybe she would start to say another one, and we could make that her first official word, but alas, I must report that "yuck" is her first word. She says it perfectly too. Emphasis on the "ck." I guess this just goes to show how much we use the word around her, as in "Yuck, don't put that in your mouth," "Yuck, that's Benson's toy," etc. Ah, well... 

She also spent Easter this year with her Mom Mom and Pop Pop Sharp because Dave and I were in France for a week (in our defense, we booked the trip before realizing that it was over Easter weekend... oops). I don't have any pics from the day, but hopefully Pop Pop will send some :) Dave and I had a fantastic time in Paris where we visited my cousin Dan & is Beaune where we enjoyed touring the many vineyards and enjoying the wine of the region. 

This past weekend we went to a baby shower for our friends Seth & Tara who are expecting twin girls in July. Below is a pic of us on our way. Thanks Julia and Kelly for the cute dress! 

Adventures Outside

During our walk with Benson yesterday we came across a field of dandelions that had turned into wishes. Sophie was getting a real kick out of them. See the video here.
