Pictures of the Year, Part 1

Believe it or not, gentle readers, this blog has burned through around 2,000 pictures since inception last December. Probably the single most often used pictures are variations on Anna doing something cute and disruptive in my office.

Sifting through the photo library, though, I came up with a small collection of favorites from the year. I'll be going through them this week, and then the blog will be on Christmas holiday during the weeks of December 21st and December 28th, returning for the new year on January 4th, 2010.

BEGINNING FROM THE BEGINNING

You may remember that back in January we went to Washington for some kind of big event on the 20th of that month. Can't remember the details. Anyway, among other things we visited the World War II Memorial for the first time.

We also saw Mount Vernon on our last day in town.

Nick's friend Will came along for the trip with us. I just loved this picture of the two boys together; I had asked them to look tough:

I also loved this look from Anna.
