sunday evening stroll: monastery

We took advantage of the beautiful weather on Sunday afternoon and visited the Franciscan Monastery in D.C. which has a gorgeous display of tulips every spring. The kids always love running through the colonnades and exploring the garden.

My mom is here! The kids are so happy to have her here (although probably not as happy as I am to have the extra help) and we're all awaiting the arrival of baby brother.

Oliver wandering.

Trying to catch fish.

We stopped by the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception which is nearby.
