my family came to visit!

My family came out to visit Ev and me over the weekend! We were missing two of my siblings -  my brother is serving a mission in Colombia and my sister and brother-in-law are busy plugging away at their new home in San Diego, so they had good excuses not to join in the fun :)

Saturday we braved the major heatwave {104 + humidity put the heat index at 110, I think! Ghastly!} and headed in to the district to walk the Jefferson Memorial and Arlington Cemetery. You'll notice that Ev is not smiling in any of these pics, which is highly unlike her. The heat put a damper on her mood, but she was a such trooper, though! I do love living so close to the Nation's Capital. There are so many wonderful things to see.

Totally off subject, but I felt like I needed to address it. Last post I commented on my grammar and then I spelt grammar wrong. It took me 3 days to realize that horrendous mistake, which made me look more like an idiot, but I wanted you all to know that I know grammar is spelt with an "a" and not "e", just so we're clear :) I can't believe how many things I mispell only to correct later after hundreds have already judged my intelligence level. Oh well, can't win 'em all!
