A major part of Linda's visit was spent watching the Olympics. We stayed up late watching Michael Phelps and women's gymnastics. During on of the races the commentators kept saying "Look at the determination on that face!" As if you're expected to have any different expression when doing the 200m fly. We laughed so hard and the next night when we opened the armoire to watch gymnastics, Josh had decorated it for us:
Things got a little loopie as the week went on and the sleep deficits grew. Josh took this self portrait himself. I think we'll use it on our Christmas cards this year. What do you think?
Here is the final result on the apron. I give it a total score of 17.50. Difficulty 8, performance 9.5. It's little red anchors. If you look closely you'll see that the pattern on the pocket is at a 180 degree angle to the rest of the pattern. She's got an eye for style!
We had a great dinner at the Lowe's Thursday night. For a full report see the family blog. Then we met up with them again for lunch in Georgetown on Friday.
Here's Michael with his cupcake.
Linda's flight was delayed a few hours due to thunderstorms, so she went to the museum of Natural Science and hung out at the airport for a very long time before she got to go home. We miss her so much. Watching the Olympics isn't the same without her and I was really dreading being alone today without her friendly chatter. Come back next summer, Linda! We miss you!

Hooray for wonderful nieces! What a fun visit...and you are a wonderful aunt! So...when do you want me to send my kids out? Do they have to be potty trained before they can visit? Do you think burping and endless "knock, knock" jokes are funny? Maybe we'll wait a couple of years...
those aprons are adorable!
what a fun trip, and frozen custard sounds so good right now. we lived like 10 minutes from frying pan park when we were in reston, that place was so fun!
i love having people come to visit, but life is so bland when they leave!
