In honor of all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and our favorite hero (Daddy) we enjoyed a family staycation.
Saturday afternoon Adrian spent some time on his newest Valentina project - refurbishing a little red radio flyer wagon he found. He stripped the paint, sanded and primed it. Next he'll repaint it a fire engine red.
He also showed me the cheerleading moves he and Valentina have been practicing. I'll remind him of this photo if he ever grumbles about Miss V wanting to be a cheerleader. Her Tia Maritza and Uncle Jimmy were cheerleaders and her cousin Kaitlyn loved cheering so it might run in her blood.

Our afternoon was spent at Auntie Laura's house with the (former) fun people of Ingalls Avenue. They've left the culdesac but we still enjoy each other's company. We also enjoyed the company of Kiki visiting from Hawaii.

Sunday we joined the Thompsons at church, ran some errands and rejoined them for dinner. Valentina loves to play with Maddie and Luke. She was most excited when she joined them on the trampoline.
Monday Miss V was invited to a birthday party for Julien Gomez. It's amazing going from babysitting your boss/friend's kids to taking your kiddo to their birthday party. Before the party, though, we spend some time at Watkins Regional Park. Valentina continued her quest to ride every carousel in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area at the park. She also rode the train and loved it.

At the birthday party she had so much fun joining the big kids on the swing set.

It was a great weekend reflecting on our blessings and giving thanks to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
