We are home from a week-long vacation to celebrate Bob and Katherine’s 60th wedding anniversary in New Hampshire. I’m back at work, it’s brutally hot here in DC so we are all wilting. I’ve been dreaming about the summers of my childhood where camp was often outside all day, but you really can’t have that here anymore.
But of course, I’m late on blogging, so we go back to the weekend before the anniversary trip and recap. Last Saturday, we went to Leon’s first birthday party – it was a lovely party, full of children – a type of party we don’t usually go to, but ever so delightful!

We pretty much know no one there, but everyone was very friendly and the food, as usual, excellent. Edda was happy to see Nat and family.

Leon was a little overstimulated – cried at his birthday song, but it is how it goes with first birthday parties.

Right after the birthday party, Jeremy went to go pick up Ben at the airport, he was flying into DC from Sweden to attend the party. Saturday night, we hung out at home and had Ginny and family for dinner and then Sunday, we went to Sunday night dinner at Riderwood and got to see Gene at rehab (he has since gotten his PICC line removed and is home…)
