Madison can drive

It's taken me a couple of weeks to finally post it, but here it is... on October 25th, I told Madison "drive the jeep like your tricycle", and off she went! This video was shot as soon as she started driving away. She's figuring out how to turn as you watch.

Minibike is not far away...

Kerri really likes animals!

Our trip to the Baltimore Zoo last weekend...

Videos from the Smithsonian/Discovery Event

See the post below for pictures as well as a description of the day.

Two Space Shuttles Passing on a Thursday Morning...

Holly was a good sport as we took a day off work, sent the girls off to daycare early, and trekked down to the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum outside of Dulles Airport outside of Washington, DC. We got there early for an up-front view of the unveiling of Discovery and the transfer ceremony of Discovery from NASA to the Smithsonian. As a part of the transfer, the Space Shuttle Enterprise (an atmospheric test shuttle) is leaving the possession of the Smithsonian to fly to New York's Intrepid Air and Space Museum on Monday. After remarks from the NASA Administrator and an unbelievably spry and sharp John Glenn and for a few hours this afternoon, the Space Shuttles stood nose-to-nose under a wonderfully sunny Spring sky for public displays. Also seated on the stage with Glenn and NASA Administrator Bolden (who himself flew on Discovery), were many former Space Shuttle Discovery Commanders. What an amazing experience--well worth the trip! Enjoy the pictures below!

Kerri and Maddi visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

It's taken me a month to finally post this video, but here it is. Kerri and Maddi playing around with their Great Grandparents and Grandparents. They are bundles of energy--the video is 5 minutes long, and they probably played 20 different little "games"--exploring the house, everything and everyone around them. A month later, they still haven't slowed down--if anything they are into even more things!

Aquarium Pictures

The girls made their first trip to the Aquarium this past Sunday with their Grandma and Grandpa Chalk, Aunt Jenn, and Uncle Matt (Buttons). Aunt Jenn did a fantastic job taking pictures! She uploaded them to Shutterfly, so I figured I'd post a link for anyone interested.
