Canoeing & Cornhole

We spent Saturday enjoying two of our favorite activities!  Carrie & Casey hadn't been out on Town Lake yet so we decided to rent some canoes and spend the day soaking up some rays.  Afterwards we headed over to Reds so the boys could throw some bags.  Little did we know we'd be starting a new tradition.  Apparently they have cornhole tournaments at Reds every so often so it looks like this will be our new second home moving forward ;)

It's A...

Girl!  That's right, we were able to find out the sex at only 15 weeks thanks to the new found wonders of 3D Sonograms.  We went in for our appointment today not knowing what to expect, even kind of hesitant that it might be too early to tell.  But our little girl wasn't shy and our technician was confident that we indeed will be welcoming a little girl to our family in August!

Kite Festival

This year we headed down to the festival prepared, we had a picnic lunch and kites that we were ready to launch.  Unfortunately, the process to find parking at the festival this year was a nightmare and I had to dig into our picnic before we even made it there as I was starving.  But once we finally found parking we did have a good time.  Carrie & I didn't last long in the kite competition, ours got tangled and taken down pretty quickly.  But Shaun once again proved he has some kite flying skills and out lasted all of us!

Double Date Night

One of our friends, Carla, is a true foodie.  She works for Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts and is always on top of the latest and greatest restaurants opening around town.  We love exploring town with her as she knows the best spots to hit up for fun/fancy drinks, great atmosphere, and amazing food.  Well tonight's pick was no different, we went to Sway which is modern, family style, Thai restaurant that opened not too long ago.  The evening was a blast and we'll definitely be going back!

Oscar Sunday

This is my version of the Superbowl, I live for this event!  We had a great night watching the celebs and guessing the winners.  Shaun took this year's contest with the most correct Oscar predictions.  I'm not sure how he did it but I'll be gunning for him next year ;)

Davis Days

Our weekends & Monday's have turned into Davis Days!  We should have known that when C&C moved to town and started hanging out with S&S we'd have so much in common.  It's been fun getting to know them and now I'm just worried that we might have a problem separating Casey & Shaun from the cornhole boards.  I think they'd cookout and play cornhole everyday, allday if we let them.  Thanks goodness they understand that Carrie & I need a little more variety so we have our Movie & Bachelor nights as well.  

Start Spreading the News

No we weren't in New York but headed home to DC to start sharing the happy news with our family & friends.  It's been such a rush to share the good news with everyone, we feel so much love and support and know our little one is going to be spoiled rotten!

• Dinner with the Carlson's
• Tour Mount Vernon
• Watched Kayla's Basketball Game
• Enjoyed a Guinness with my Brother at Murphy's
• Super Bowl Parties
• Play Date with Catherine & the Kiddies

• Guys Happy Hour
• Mere's BDay Celebration @ the Palm
• Monument Tour at Night

As you can tell we love every second that we're back in DC.  We love Texas but we certainly miss all of our friends and family!  DC will always be deep in our heart!
