Mark graduated from Navy officer candidate school in Newport, Rhode Island last weekend. I traveled with my parents and sister and left Steph, Calvin, and Lucy Kate at home.
There was a reception Thursday night:
And graduation ceremony Friday morning.
Action shots of the graduation walk:
And some pics with the family afterwards:
Friday afternoon we visited around and looked at the Newport mansions. And I played with the iPhone panoramic shots:
Took some in Boston as well on Saturday:
We headed out to Burnet to see Thomas the Tank Engine come to life! Calvin wasn’t as into it as we expected, but he talked more about it afterwards.
Calvin was actually more interested in the normal trains that were around (that’s what he’s pointing at)..
He did really love the tattoo he got. He kept it for a little over a week before it started rubbing off. Now he tells me “we will get a new Thomas on my hand tomooooorow”
Lucy Kate has been a rolly-polly these days. I set her on her blanket, walk away, and come back to her completely across the room. If she wants to get to her toys she just rolls right up to them. She is also pretty handy at rotating around too.
Calvin is continuing to try and maker her laugh as much as he can. He also loves to steal her toys :)
All in all, Lucy Kate is a happy little girl and loves to smile and be social!
5 Month Stats (rough estimates, no doctor’s appt this month):
The above pics were taken inside, hence the darkish look. The below pics are from outside…her eyes really brighten up out there (but of course her better smiles were from when she was inside!)
