A week for the history books (and Grandma Beanie!)



Lucky Evie had Grandma Beanie come to visit this week! The two enjoyed wonderful walks through Old Town in the great weather we had, and Evie tried to sing along to Grandma's rendition of "Baa Baa Black Sheep." Grandma Beanie also taught Mom how to make a pot roast and baked a cake - yum, yum. It was a lovely visit, despite Evie being a little crankypants sometimes.

It was also great to celebrate Obama's win in the presidential race, although both Mommy and Evie slept through the election results. Here's a picture of Evie meeting the future President at the Newseum on Sunday.



The Newseum was a lot of fun. Although Evie slept through the 4-D movie, she was well-behaved while mom and dad listened to a conversation with Nick Clooney (aka George's dad) about journalism and movies (he came over to say hi to Evie). There were great exhibits on the portrayal of FBI "G-men" in the media, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs, etc. -- enough for another visit one day. Below, Evie and Mommy pose in front of actual pieces of the Berlin Wall.
