After a picnic dinner of delicious sushi on the patio (how civilized can you get?), we headed in for an opening act so memorable that we have no idea who it was.
St. Vincent, on the other hand, was excellent. Always trying to push the tempo regardless of the national symphony conductor.
We had a posse.
An excellent wolf trap iteration.

There is a hidden gem of a musuem in DC that is often overlooked by tourists and locals alike—the national portrait gallery. We recently paid a visit with Cyn and Eli. Eli was in town for a robot shindig of sorts.
The inner courtyard is amazing (and smells like a jungle).
p.s. grandma moses was a hack

A visit to the Giants exhibition in Richmond was well worth the trip, even if it was cold as all getout.
Here’s what we saw. Eli came along. Romey did the tour. Betty followed her nose.
Hard to describe how stunning these pieces are. Photos don’t work.
FUCK ICE
Better not bring it to Virginia

Thanks to Betty for hosting yet another stellar visit to civilization.
And thanks to Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys for sharing.

Why is Eli so very sad?
Because eggs benedict breakfast means he is going to the Stick.
Poor eli.

Snow! Maybelline loved it. So did Eli. Moonshine always loves everything.
To warm up, we used fresh limes from California (thanks Slettens!) to make Hemmingway Daiquiris.
Boot snuck in (as is his wont).

Oh yeah, moving into the first rental house for year three of gradual school. We implemented a massive two day transformation.
Welcome.

And then there was the birthday dishwasher.
Very proud of what kid2 is accomplishing. Having a home of his own may make it even more fun.
