Friday night picnic dinner
in the National Gallery of Art's amazing Sculpture Garden
while listening to live Jazz along with hundreds of happy people
(Riley took this picture...not bad for 3 years old, eh?)
Followed by a quick walk over to the steps of the Capitol to hear the Army Band play. They played FUN cover songs, including one of Jonah's favorite songs, "Living on a Prayer." Could it get more perfect than that?
It was truly a magical night - sitting on the steps of the Capitol on a gorgeous summer night (not hot or humid for the first time all summer), looking down the National Mall at the Washington Monument with my four favorite people, singing fun cover songs. I actually teared up at one point because I was so thankful for the gift of that night. I know it sounds cheezy, but I want to store up the memories of that night in my heart forever!

What an amazing night you all shared together!
i love the stories! and you forgot to blog about the hair cuts it looks like all your boys got. :)
yep, Amy...I gave all the boys haircuts right after their "dip" in the creek. The family we were playing with in the creek invited us back to their house so I could borrow their clippers and give the boys a quick cut. I had told her that our clippers had broken that morning while I was trying to cut Riley's hair. She immediately invited us over to use theirs. It was very kind and was so great to be invited into their home. so, that actually was a fun memory. (:
i love this post!
