The Whiffen Family

V and Renee went to the salon and got hair cuts today.

Julia wanted to get into the photos too, but she refuses to get a hair cut…

Put some photos of Renee’s Birthday up…. On Sunday we had her friends come to Paint This! Pottery studio. for some plate painting and cake.

Renee wanted a LadyBug cake.

They actually had more fun then the pictures show, they were really focused on their painting.

Renee wanted a doll for her Birthday

which she loves. So far it sleeps with her every night.

More to come, because we haven’t had Baba or Grandma Nancy over yet.

We took the kids to Glen Echo Park back in July to see “You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown” at the Adventure Theatre. We went with our friends the McDermotts. The park has a restored carousel which Renee enjoyed riding. Julia was a bit scared.

There’s a playground and picnic area too.

Then it was on to the show.

There are more pictures in the “July Gallery“

Lola picks unusual places to sleep some times.

Here’s she’s sleeping in a ‘baby carrier’ for Julia’s toy stroller.

Another time, she decided to sleep in a plastic bin.

Julia had a few birthday’s this week… First there was her actual birthday:

Then there was a party an Ms Menikie’s (Day care):

Then today there was the party for Baba and Deda:

She really enjoys her birthday parties. There are more photos in the July Gallery here.

I’ve started putting the photos from our trip to Germany and Holland up. So far it’s just a big jumble of pictures. Hopefully I’ll be able to post updates and add more info as time permits.

We left on Thursday. Julia was excited about the flight. Both girls did quite well.

We spent our time in Germany with our friends Astrid and Zieli. They showed us a great time.

Then it was on to The Hague in the Netherlands to see Melita. The weather was great and we got to spend a lot of time at the beach.

At Renee’s school for the end of the year, they have different events every day the last week. Favorite hat day, shirt inside out day, pajama day and Crazy hair day. Here’s Renee’s crazy hair.

Renee’s next video production is: Rosie and Rizie. Renee is Rosie and Julia is Rizie. They cavort around for the camera.

It’s 2 minutes 50 seconds long.

Renee’s latest video creation titled “The Baby and The Cricket”.

Staring Renee as the Cricket and Julia as the Baby.

I’ve changed around Renee’s art gallery a bit. There’s a separate Photos and separate Art section.

They’re broken out by year currently. If it gets too busy I’ll put monthly folders in.
