1/31/08: So far this year has been wonderful, and although at least one of us was sick each day of January, we are constantly amazed at how faithful God is to provide for our every need (and then some!).  The holiday season is over and we are back to our "normal" schedule, and therefore we have had some more down time to sit back and wonder at how the girls continue to explore their world and conquer tasks once impossible for them.  Below are some shots of memories that we will cherish forever:

We've had some storms in CA - one which left us without power for the day.

Not the most cherished memory of the month: Lauren fell off a low couch with a Crayola Marker in her hand. We were praising God that her eye was not injured!

We've been having a lot of fun with our toy additions from Christmas!

Lauren and her little bud Ava "sleeping" under a tent after a Bible study.

A short but sweet visit from the Price family! It's our turn to go to Washington now!

Both girls are starting to see more clearly how blessed they are to have a daddy like Gruia.

Playing with the zoo, in the zoo.

Pushing the train around the room on her sweet little knees.

Sydney enjoys playing Peek-a-boo, but keeps at least one eye uncovered to watch the happy faces of her Peek-a-boo-ees. Sometimes she just covers her ear :).

I often admire Sydney precious little toes.

Coloring together.

Eating string cheese together.

Lauren has a couple of new puzzles that she has really been enjoying. We are amazed at how quickly she is learning to master them.

Sydney is kind of walking. She takes steps every now and then, but really is just taking her time in the transition to "toddler". Why walk when you can crawl at lightning speeds?

Putting together a new car is much more challenging with two little girls wanting to participate! Gruia finally got it all completed and the girls have been enjoying it in many different ways ever since. See below for examples...
