March Wrap Up

Jen snapped a few pictures from a Lily bath night at the end of March. Lily was cute as ever.

Bunko Night

We hosted Bunko night with some friends. For those that don't know what Bunko is, I can't really explain other than you roll dice and depend on luck. Drinking a lot helps. And the host gets to make up funky rules - such as wearing an obnoxious purple feather boa if you roll a Bunko.



Alex gets in on the action.



Our first Bunko of the night - Kym.



That should be a Facebook picture.



Perhaps the prettiest Bunko of all.

A manly Bunko.

Quite comfy those two are.

New Couch Arrives

The new couch finally arrive and the girls were overjoyed to help break it in. So far, they haven't broken the couch (or themselves on the couch).



Alex loves to hold Lily.



Alex palms Lily like a basketball.



All smiles this one.



Lily and her star.

Amuck on the Mall

Two months in the planning, and the (mostly) local T-Birds made it to the Mall for an afternoon of fun. Jake took a break from some training and drove up from North Carolina to join the crowd. We started at the Air & Space, but the phenomenal weather enticed us outside for a walk to the Botanical Gardens, around the Capitol, then over to Union Station for dinner at Pizzeria Uno.
