I love the birds that we feed outside our window. They make me smile every day. They also go through bird feed faster than I go through wine. I know...it's pretty impressive!

Amazing day to celebrate the awesome Kristine Columbo (soon to be Ward).  Shower in Maryland during the day, filled with so much "happyness," followed off by an epic night down town.  Lingerie (and debut party for Packer/Pecker, seen center of second photo), dinner at Bistro du Coin and dance marathon at Mad Hatter. Kristine is a CHAMP.

I captured this moment hastily in the taxi on the way back from the softball field with Amy to make sure I remember this ride.  Our cabby was slightly passionate about Bollywood music, and entertained us by cranking the tunes up, with windows down all the way home. We learned how to "unscrew the light bulb" and the history behind the words they were singing....it was all about love and respect for your parents?  I later learned he was a 3-time Field Hockey gold medalist for Malaysia 27 years ago. Amazing.

So much ball this week! First game of the HA Gill season, Gill in action returning a hard hit ball in left field. Didn't remember my actual camera today so unfortunately the quality is not great enough to see how great this guy looks in action!

What a beautiful day in the city.  We took advantage and walked down to the national mall and played some good old catch with Amysmi. So lucky to have patches of grass like this one, with the Capital and National Monument on either side of us.
