Happy Father’s Day!

Today is Father's Day! We had a pretty relaxing day at home. Daddy made pancakes for Grandma and Grandpa (4 kinds – sprinkes, banana cinnamon, chocolate chip, and plain for me) and we had breakfast at the brown table, complete with cards for Grandpa and some great new family pictures from the lake house. Then we hung out here until Grandma and Grandpa left to go home to NY. We had quite an eventful and fun week with them. A brief recap:

– Pirates of Penzance at Wolf Trap

– N's birthday party

– Summer event at White House

– M&A's graduation

– M&A's graduation party

– Screening of The Diplomat

– Shear Madness

Plus lots of meals and time with the kids. We had a great time!

Then this afternoon, we went swimming at Nana and Grampy's. He's now in a cast and still not very mobile at all. But he was happy to see us and the girls made him some sweet cards. Plus we got to hang out with Emily and Rachel too. 

Tonight we ate taco leftovers (again!) and ate dinner outside.

Some pics from today and earlier in the week:

Here also are some photos from an earlier visit from Grandma, when Afghan Presidents Ashraf Ghani in town. Here is a writeup she prepared for the blog:

Thanks so much for posting the White House lawn party photos.  It was so much fun!  I really enjoyed being on the rope line and shaking hands with Obama!
 
I also was thrilled to be invited to the pre and post events when President Ghani addressed the joint session of Congress.  These photos were taken at the luncheon.  The women dressed in white are Gold Star mothers. Several had sons who lost their lives in Afghanistan.  They were so thrilled to meet Dan and to have these photos taken!  I was so proud to be there as well.  
 
Ron and I were especially happy to be at Friday night's screening of The Diplomat.  We agree that Dan did a great job — both in the film and in the Q and A!
 
Many thanks for helping to make this week in Washington so special!
