Remember how sad I was last year when my three favorite boys moved to Charleston?
Well, they (along with their parents, of course!) are in DC this weekend and we are having lunch today! They'll be at the Air and Space Museum, so I can meet them there, since my office is in the area! I may also go to the Zoo with them tomorrow :)
I can't wait to see them, it's been nearly a year! Alex is SIX, Andrew will be FOUR in two weeks and Henry is 2 1/2! Insane! I first began baysitting for them not too long after I moved here and Alex was only about a year and a half! They are just the sweetest boys and I was so, so sad when they left.
I have an open invitation to visit Charleston anytime, which I SO need to do. I've only been there once, several years ago for a wedding, but it poured the entire weekend, so I didn't see much other than the wedding itself. Everyone seems to say such amazing things about the city, so I need to go. Maybe in October, when wedding season ends?
a reminder to myself

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.

oooh Charleston is HIGH on my list of cities to visit! (it's also one with a great Southern Living rate : )
Aw- have fun with the family! I love the zoo- always a fun time. And I agree- go visit them in Charleston. Such an awesome city and even more fabulous food!!
Awww, yay! Though I have to say, I don't really blame them. Charleston is ADORABLE.
I've never been to Charleston! You should totally take them up on their offer soon!
