Weekend!

We had a nice weekend -- it's been really hot here so we went to Somerset House again.  The kids wore the same bathing suits so the pictures look like they're from the trip a couple of months ago.  Oh well.  On Saturday afternoon we went to Miss Alina's birthday party!  She's 28 (!) and we had delicious Romanian food again!  The kids loved the ice cream and cupcake parts of course.  We took the camera and then didn't take even one picture.

Lizzie has a cold that she's had for at least a week, and on Friday she started the cough part.  I took her to the local walk in clinic this morning after a very fitful sleep last night, and she is okay.  But, if she's not better on Friday, she's supposed to go back.  I'm not sure why we're sick over here, all the time, but that's just how we're going along these days.  Mandy is also sick today, which is why I'm home and posting instead of working...Maybe it's just the unseasonably warm weather, bringing us all down.

 Lizzie and I went to a music class a week ago Friday and we had a really great time, especially with this drum.  I think we might try to find one like this for Lizzie for her birthday or Christmas. (She just saw this picture and said, "Lulu. Drum."  We'd been curious what she would call herself when she started talking, and it's clear:  Lulu.)
