Yet another busy weekend has passed by for us. The girls are becoming very busy and our calendars are filling up with fun things to do. This past weekend we got rid of Katie's stomach flu, went to a 1st birthday party, hung out with friends, tried gymnastics, and took photos with the Easter Bunny.

Maddie & Katie playing with bubbles at the birthday party - birthday girl Mari is in the back left in white. She turned one!

Katie with frosting on her face. The rare occasion she got to eat sweets

ditto for Maddie

The girls checking out their goodies baskets at the party while Daddy looks on

Katie spent Sunday morning working on puzzles - she is quite good at them now

She did it! So happy!

Maddie was reading before gymnastics class

The tail end of the stomach flu - we gave Katie pedialyte popsicles - Maddie wanted one too. Poor Katie lost 1 lb in 2 days while sick. Luckily she is back to normal now.

The Easter Bunny - they hated him. Check out their escapee moves...and yes, Cheetoh was part of the photo on Katie's insistence.

Posing for the camera - not sure where Katie learned how to do that.

Busy Weekend

We have had another busy weekend. I think we all need a little vacation. The girls are growing so fast and are expanding their vocabulary. Katie says "mama, dada, no, up, help, hi, hello (while pretending to be on the phone), yoyo (yogurt), nana (banana), mum mum (food), apple, mah mah (maddie), wa wa (water), baa (bath), birr (bird), wow wow (dog), go, door, elmo, oh ohs (cheerios), mo (more)" Maddie says, "no, up, uh oh, coco (cookie), elmo, mama, dada, apple, nana (banana), wow wow (dog), wa wa (water), hi, bye, yah, yoyo (yogurt), mum mum (food). I think that is about it.

We went to Montessori Community School's family fair on Saturday - they are right up the street from our house and my Aunty is the Head of School there. They had cute games and crafts for the little ones, a book fair and yummy food. The girls each made a pinwheel.

Both girls have been obsessed with "taking" on the phone. The LOVE to pretend they are on the phone and Maddie babbles away while Katie keeps saying "hello?" Occasionally, Maddie will respond to Katie and say "hi". So cute!
