It's been a long two months! She slept out on the couch, in her orphan costume last night. Took this pic of her in the wee hours of the morning.

Aunt Colleen came to visit. She brought 2 sets of matching outfits for Madi and Lilli, some diapers, and other goodies - including the gecko that Madi is holding. That was so thoughtful. Thanks for everything! Nikki is planning to do a photo session with the girls in their matching outfits.

We headed home from D.C. today after a stop in West Virginia. We planned a surprise stop for Cole and Stephen. We went tubing down the Potomac river. We rented inflatable tubes and floated downstream through the rapids. Pictures will have to come later as we used a disposable waterproof camera. The river must have been lower than usual because the web site said that the trip should take about 1.5-2.5 hours and it took us 4 hours. We had to use our arms to paddle most of it, we were pretty miserable when we finally reached the take out point. The boys soon crashed after we ate dinner.

Waiting backstage, before I bring her back to the orphanage. It was so cute that Miss Hannigan was Annie's mom in real life, too.

Today we went to Arlington National Cemetery. We watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
The National Cathedral. Then we took a break at the hotel for a swim and dinner.
And we hit The Lincoln Memorial at night (as well as the Jefferson Memorial and Vietnam Memorial)

Maureen, Annie and Farrell did such a wonderful job in the play last night! We are all so proud! The last picture is of the set that Farrell just put in place!

We started our day at the Museum of Natural History. Here is Cole in a crystal ball.
Then we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We got to see how they make our paper currency.
It was raining when we left the BEP so we ducked into the Holocaust museum. After the rain subsided we went to the Museum of American History. And, then before we collapsed we went to the top of the Washington monument.
