Katie's 1st Birthday!

Starbucks Run!

Eugene and Katie hit the grocery store in the wee hours of dawn

Julie met Mr. McFeely from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood - a wonderful guy

Katie's first tea set from England (thanks, Christine, Tom & Ella!

Lunch with Mommy!

Lunch with Mommy! Katie visited mom on her first day back to work.

Baby's first Irish pub! Slainte!!!

Afterwards, Katie and Dad went to the National Portrait Gallery, where there was a great Herblock exhibit and of course this nice new atrium.

Hangin' out

Katie generating energy for Virginia by bouncing in the exer-saucer. 1000 KW/hr

Katie is extra cute with bed-head.
Breakfast for her is 4 eggs, 2 links of sausage, as much bacon as she wants, flapjacks, pancakes, johnnycakes, wheatcakes, and french toast. Then there is oatmeat, cereal, grits, and halibut. More calories than Michael Phelps!

Happiness is a full baby!

Katie looking coy in the car seat. 3.5 pounds more and we can face forward! More suet, miss?

This is one of our favorite photos of Katie during our time in China. She has gained a full pound-plus since we arrived in the U.S. and her hair has grown to a more spiky length (Eugene is jealous).

Hooray for the Exersaucer! We had no idea that these things were such a hit with the kids ... and their parents.

Katie and her new friend (and neighbor!), Indigo. We are so lucky to have Melanie, David, and Indigo as neighbors.
