Mama goes to the Hill with Hemos

It has been a few busy 6 weeks side we last checked in. But first, some highlights from this past weekend when Mama went (alone!!!) to Washington, DC to attend the National Hemophilia Foundation's Annual Meeting. She went on behalf of a patient advocacy board and with a few personal questions to be answered. She meet up with old friends and new, as well as snuck out for a little late night silliness on the hill….

Important folks during the passing of the Ricky Ray Act 20 years ago

New Blood Sisters!

Celeb Sighting!

The POTUS' with the Mostest

Dinner at Mintwood…yum!

IN might be humiliated here in a week…. it's a good thing.

Vintage Inaugural walks

As close as we were about to get...


Apparently hours before arriving to the famous house of white, a man with a knife broke into the place. Needless to say, the grounds were swarming with security and secret service. Furthermore, we were only allowed to view from a distance.

This place holds all the dollas. National Treasury.


A Wee Needle

Not really...

So smooth and tall!






The Capitol in the distance

WWII monument. Breath-taking.




This guy.






 All silliness aside, Mama really digs on Abe. He is by far her favorite POTUS. She doesn't even know where to begin. Just read…


So apparently DC has this great (free!) zoo with some special guests...



Apparently we got an early morning treat to see these guys in action.






This guy about scaled the fence after us...

House of Reptiles.


A Zoo Princess
 On the last night, a drug company rented out the entire Air and Space Museum for our conference. It was pretty amazing….


National Museum of Art across the street…next time.

These. Are.The.Real.Things!


Moon Rock. Funny, the moon is black

Kitty Hawk. Yup, real.


Space Station. Yup, real.

Real.

That would be the first plane, ever. 



Gotta Moon Walk!

First Day of Kindergarten


Elias had his first day of Kindergarten today! He jumped out of bed, dressed himself, and didn't think twice about getting settled into his new classroom. Ms. Sullivan is his teacher and she is great! Elias' only report/complaint for the day was that he didn't get to sit next to his teacher.

Someone Got His Hairs Did!


So Mama finally broke down and took Baby E in to get his baby curls trimmed off. We went to Sandy the Barber because she is a neighborhood legend and gem. She plays 40s swing music in her vintage barber shop. The boys love her. Sandy has Candy along with stories for days….

End Days of Summer….

Yes, we realize it is only August 1st today, but we here in Indy are on the balanced calendar for school and frankly, the weather has been unseasonably cool (on record the coldest July ever!). So this week, we wrapped up a huge milestone for our oldest little monkey: Preschool!

This summer we did the proper introduction of Star Wars by allowing our monkeys to view all 6 movies. This weekend we wrapped up the series….


Yoda

Apparently Yoda has gotten a part time job in addition to Jedi responsibilities.


Light saber wars all the time...

 The Children's Museum has a wonderful exhibit this summer showcasing Chinese culture. Since Daddy has lived there and Elias will be learning Mandarin this year, we immersed ourselves in China.
