Mom and I spent a lot of time in the nursery, mostly getting clothes organized. I have so much now that it is too much to hang in the closet. (Newborn through 12 mos sizes). The room is too small for a dresser, so we bought some Rubbermaid stackable drawers for inside the closet. So now things that are not easy to hang, like pants, onesies, blankets, and sleepers are stored in the drawers. That really helps!
Gep and Karl spent time together installing a "whole house" water filter, to reduce the chlorinated taste in our water. It worked! Karl and I are still so amused that we needed a filter in this home but not in downtown Philadelphia. Then Karl and Gep got the mower up and running. Gep even mowed the lawn for us. It needed it badly, even though the heat has kept the grass from growing too much since we moved in.
Since it was such a beautiful afternoon, we packed a picnic dinner and hopped on the metro to D.C. We visited the relatively new WWII memorial and well as the Vietnam Wall Memorial. I forgot to bring my camera and I'm so sad that I don't have a picture with us in it to post here. The WWII memorial is very beautiful. It's located on the mall between the Lincoln memorial and the Washington monument. It's sunken below grade for a very nice effect. There are two gates, one each for the Atlantic and Pacificconflicts. There are pilliars for each state and US territory from which a soldier came. In the center is a beautiful pool with fountains.
I didn't take these photos. I found them on Google images. Isn't it beautiful?
Yesterday, we all went to church together, then came home for a quick lunch before Mom and Gep left to go home.
