Hello from Washington, DC, where we've come to protest the meanies who'd like for insurance companies not to be required to insure children with preexisting conditions like our little Lachlan enjoy ourselves despite it all for one day as we drive to New York City for a family wedding this weekend! Gosh, this is such a unique and powerful city, and we're seeing it with new eyes this time. When we lived here seven years ago, we were in such a different place in our early married lives. Now here we are, navigating the metro with a stroller and a baby carrier as opposed to a yoga mat and a bag of groceries. The boys loved the open space of the national mall, which is exactly where they needed to be after being in the car all day yesterday.

See you tomorrow or Monday with pictures of my trip to the garment district in Manhattan to source fabrics for my next patterns!
