December 10 = Army/Navy Game Day
Well it's January 19th so I'm over a month behind again... so I'm going to speed through these. Main memory from Army/Navy game day? It was cold. And we lost. But we had Park Tavern for dinner afterwards and that was delicious.

March 26 = Rugby Day
We started off today with Chickfila Breakfast- my favorite! Later, we headed to the Naval Academy to show my parents Zachary's office- they've never seen it before! Then he went to the Army/Navy rugby game. Zachary got dressed without colors in mind and showed up wearing what looked like Army colors- oops. Here's the whole crew:
And here's Malia in her Easter dress. But it was cold so she's also in a coat and sweat pants. Kind of takes away from how beautiful the dress is.
This is right before both kids were clearly ready to go:
So after about 30 minutes Zachary stayed behind to keep watching but the rest of us headed home for naps. So I titled today Rugby day but a tiny portion of the day was spent at the match. Later, we made buffalo wings and potato skins and watched Carolina advance to the next round of the NCAA tournament- great ending to a great day!

January 21 = Rough Day
I woke up this morning with all the time in the world... decided to have a casual day... made some chocolate chip waffles... took my time... checked my email, looked at Zachary's calendar to see what he was up to, and realized- oops! Liam has an ophthalmology appointment in thirty minutes. So I kicked into high gear and we got there a few minutes early!
Here are Liam's footprints out to the car:
When we got there, the receptionist said I needed the referral that I had been sent five months ago. If someone paid me a million dollars to find it, I doubt I could. So I got to try to call someone who could maybe fax it over. In case you were wondering, trying to make a phone call in a room where it says in three different places "please take your phone calls outside," with two toddlers who needed their coats outside but now that we are inside and the heat is blaring, want nothing to do with them and want them off NOW, and starting eyes and bad signal and getting really hot yourself and Liam running into an exam room... during an exam... is not fun. So by the time we were taken back to the appointment we had all had our fill. Enter in doctor who wants him to put his chin here and his forehead there and let him hold something in front of one eye and oh, let's put drops in his eyes too! Remind me to never, ever, take Liam to an eye appointment with Malia and without Zachary. Nightmare. The good parts: instead of a chart of letter for him to read off, they used pictures. I was nervous that he wouldn't have words for the pictures they'd show him and therefore this appointment would be pretty pointless- but he did! He did awesome! Another good part of the appointment was the doctor looked for some problems in the eye that are connected with NF and they're not there.
When we got home, it was "watch Caillou" time. I abandoned the preschool plans for the day because although I've tried to put into words how stressful the appointment was, I don't think I've done it justice. Here's Miss Malia dancing to the Caillou theme song:
Then we had lunch. And then it was nap time. For everyone. When I came out of my room from my nap, I saw this:
Those are curtain rods. Here's what I found inside:
Trouble maker.

November 14 = Rugby Day
My mom, brother and Grace came in last night. Zachary's gone this weekend for a marathon- he's not running- just supervising the Naval Academy's marathon team. But a couple of his guys are on the rugby team and they had a big game today so we decided to represent for him and go cheer them on. I don't have a clue what's going on but it was fun anyway. It was really windy- when the wind stopped, the temperature was perfect- but that was rare and with the wind it was really cold so we didn't last very long.

November 18 = Dentist Day
One thing I want to make sure I do as a parent is teach my children the importance of taking care of their teeth. We get a practice run with the baby teeth but once those permanent teeth come in- that's it! I've worn through most of my enamel from drinking sugary drinks and lots of citrus fruits- I had one dentist saying most people in their seventies have more enamel than I do. So this was Liam's second trip to the dentist. There's not much they do right now- they count teeth- he's got four molars to go- and just look at the overall health of his mouth. Sometimes they do find tooth decay in kids this young so it's good to get it checked out to make sure you're on the right track- which we are! I love this dentist- Dr. Maya Vernon. Being a pediatric dentist's office, the waiting room was very Liam friendly- he found this easel to draw on.
After we finished there, we went to the exchange and got some winter clothes- a coat for Liam and a hat for Malia. His coat pictured above is super cute but for when it's really cold, it'll be good for him to have a good winter coat. We've got Malia covered with clothes from one of Zachary's classmates whose daughter had lots of good winter clothes but we wanted to get her a knitted hat to keep her extra toasty.
