A Visit from Lizi!

My sister, Lizi, took a break from her hectic practice back in Arizona, and came out to Virginia for a visit with her favorite Olsen Girls!  Unfortunately with the difference in time zones, my girls' 6 o'clock wake-up felt pretty brutal to Lizi.  But at least this early wake-up call (3am AZ time), was accompanied by cute little faces that wanted to snuggle her.  Olivia made sure that Auntie Lizi gave her some quality bed-snuggle time each morning by squawking at her, but only loud enough that Lizi could hear, as to not rouse Lauren.  Olivia didn't like to share Auntie Lizi this early in the morning...

The weather was nice and comfortable while Lizi was here, so we have many park outings with the girls.  And though Lizi did miss the Cherry Blossoms on the National Mall, we went down regardless to see everything else that was in bloom.  The Mall was busy as usual, with some wonderful people watching to be done!  I'm always so amazed at how many different languages we hear spoken while down visiting the national monuments.  What do we see/hear most?  I believe it's either Korean or Japanese; though with the time I spent in Korea, maybe I'm just able to pick up when I do hear Korean.  Interestingly enough, English may be the language we hear least while there.  Do Americans even make the time to come see our National Capitol, or is it just the rest of the world that does?!  It could just be the time of year; though we probably go monthly, so I'm not sure that's the case Anyway... 

We sure loved the time Lizi spent with us here and can't wait to have her back again.  Maybe we can talk Uncle Joe, Connor, and Hadley to come out for a visit this fall...we'll just have to work on our luring techniques of getting Arizona family to come out here for a visit.  We've actually just recently found a couple fishing areas along the Potomac and other waterways near by...maybe that'll convince Joe...and maybe even my dad/Grandpa Bill to come out for a looksee! ;0)
