Destructor!
Maceo has learned to crawl forward, and his favorite thing to do is go around the living room to topple towers of blocks. Here, then, is a study in the terror of a crawling destructive force released on the world of our blocks.

Dinner with the extended family
My mom's cousin has a step-daughter. I introduced that step-daughter to my friend from Peace Corps, Eric, years ago. They are now married and have twins. I am batting 1.000 in my setting up record. Leslie and Eric invited a number of people over to a potluck dinner last week, including Leslie's dad and step-mom who were in town, my mom and her husband, friends from Peace Corps Daniel, his wife Lilian, and their daughter Elsa; and another RPCV Jessica and her husband Daryl. There were a lot of people, a lot of kids, and it was a lot of fun. Maceo did a good job with so many kids around and seemed interested and somewhat interactive, which I'm told is not often what babies do with other kids. But you can see that all here.

Weekend excursion
Since the weather was so gorgeous this weekend, we decided to get Maceo out of his new favorite room of the house--
and out into the real world. We packed up the car and drove the two miles or so to the National Arboretum. This is a large park in Northeast DC with a bonsai house, azalea gardens, trails, trees, and it's just lovely. People were all walking around and walking their dogs, pushing their strollers, and riding bikes in the warm sunny afternoon. There is also an installment of columns from the Capitol building that were used for one of the porticoes. It looks like an ancient Greek ruin in the middle of a field.
It was lovely and Maceo took a little nap in the stroller (which he often does) and then was in a terrific mood for the rest of the outing.
