Maximilian James Patrick Kearns Second Birthday

I don't get to see the Georgia Kearns' as much as I'd like but it was great to be at Max's second birthday (and Sophie Lindsey's) and see the whole gang, too. Of course, Jasper is papered in RED for David Lindsey's campaign so time was taken out for strategizing. We went to Target (3 times) and Karolina's soccer game - she scored 4 goals and they won, then birthday party time.

Let's see...I take a left at Tokyo, a right at Paris...

Hey look at all this good stuff I get to eat on my birthday :-)

Lil Maxie climbs the playset Karolina got from the grandparents six years ago - it's reassembled and ready to rock.

Monday breakfast - the party's over. Back to work:-(

Max stalls by taking a final spin before preschool

and walks Ben. Bye Bye. See you soon.

Laszlo Visits Falls Church

Great Sunday visit from Laszlo. We headed to the park where he was disturbed to see the two giant tractors were no longer there.

then home for lunch, a little of Uncle Neil's keyboard action, a nap and afterwards:

Laszlo heads down the road to his favorite gazebo for a little "spin."

Laszlo, just like his grandma Rose, loves his hot chocolate - or at least the marshmallow part! After a hard day of play, nothing like a cuppa cocoa.

This gazebo thing of his, he loves to get dizzy running around, now riding around. Once again I can only hope this video works.

But then, it's off to the golf course. I tried to put together a makeshift "hole" for him to putt in but that wouldn't do at all. So we dug a cup. He's telling his dad "no, dad, I'll show you how to do it." He also insisted we have a flag at the hole so I took a curtain rod and hung a potholder on it. That seemed to satisfy him. Then he and dad headed home to see Mom. A good time was had by all.
