Parents show love by nurturing and rearing their children. Boyfriends show love by unexpectedly showing up with a bouquet of flowers. Wives show love by caring for each detail of their homes and husbands. And one way family shows love is by showing up at your doorstop for a visit.
Jon had the pleasure of hosting the Reimers, Sr. (we are the Reimers, Jr., of course) along with Aunt Margaret for a trip to the Hillwood Estate as well as some of the monuments downtown. I was asleep...what a terrible waste of a beautiful spring day! (Photos courtesy of Mom Reimer)
But I did have the opportunity to make-up for the missed trip by taking my sisters and our sweet niece Genevieve to see the monuments and enjoy a fabulous lunch at one of Jon's restaurant favorites, Founding Farmers. Leave it to DC to combine a historical idea with a hint of sustainable farming.
Thankfully, Jon and I have yet to develop the DC health plague...seasonal allergies. I fear if we stay here much longer, though, we may gain such a nemesis to spring. As Charles (our dear brother) mentioned over Easter weekend, we again realize the fallen-ness of our world when we can't enjoy God's beautiful creation without feeling ill enough to want to escape. But please enjoy the photos, allergy-free (hopefully), and this lovely spring season.
Oh, these pictures made me so happy. :) Love you!!!
