Dancing with Grandma.

Lauren loves to put together puzzles and here is a finished product on display!

Having fun with Daddy

Lauren and Sydney love to swipe Dad's glasses whenever they get the chance.

Christmas and Valentine's decorations up on the same mantle... we're hoping that this will not become a new family tradition for us!

Our beautiful lioness

Our gorgeous little bug.

Mowing the lawn with a shopping cart.

Exploring her world

Just gettin' some love.

The girls love to pull off the flowers from our shrubs, and they can do this without a fight as there are plenty to go around!

Some fun on our new keyboard (thank you Grandma!)

Squished but happy

A trip to the Oakland Zoo that both girls were old enough to enjoy... including seeing animals,

playing in the playground,

playing some more,

riding the train, and

cruising in a cool car.

Happy Birthday Taia!

Happy Birthday Andrew and Evan!

A fun visit from Grandma and Uncle JoJo

Sitting together and sharing chalk.

Our friends Ben and Lisa from WA spent some time with us on their road trip - it was so wonderful to see them!

Just a beauty.

Easter family photo!

Sydney went down this same slide right after Lauren, but no picture as I had to put the camera down to stop her from flying off the bottom of it!

Swinging together!
