Democracy girl

Ida Jane has had an eventful few days, with the Chesapeake Primary rolling into town. Her and dada went to a brunch on Sunday, where she joined other kids holding up signs for her candidate of choice:



She also had the opportunity to meet a couple of high-powered folks. Here she is with Rep. Chris Van Hollen, our representative from Maryland and chair of the DCCC.



And here we are with Senator Ted Kennedy.



But her favorite part of the political process was, without a doubt, the cupcake she got at the PTA bakesale after we voted today. Check out her "I voted" sticker, and her "I ate it" mustache.

A visit from Meme

Ida Jane had a great time this week with her Meme! She got to ride piggyback (while holding onto her lunchbox, of course).



It was fun having Meme and Mama around all day. Little Walnut must have enjoyed all of the singing and laughing:



Even our friend Sophia from next door came over to play along!



And, of course, there was dancing.



Someone really played hard this week!
