Summer fun

All you need is a slide, a hose, and some buddies.




All aboard!

Lucy is train obsessed. She sets up trains with bouncy toys and grocery carts and feeding seats. She'll move them and mix up the arrangement.



Today she combined blocks with dollhouse furniture (and the residents) to create sleeping cars, seating and even a toilet.

School's out!

I can't believe that my babies have finished their first year of preschool. I was feeling a bit melancholy on their last day. To make matters worse, I helped move the school (from portable classrooms to their gorgeous new building) and basically helped dismantle their first classroom. The new facility is wonderful, its definitely a move forward, but I still felt a little nostalgic.

I am also thrilled we will have our beloved teacher, Ms Nooshi, again next year.

But with being out of school, I have to entertain them 24/7. We are leaving for D.C. to visit Grammy on Thursday, and I am very excited. We will have cooler weather and access to a whole new and exciting set of resources (think smithsonian). Plus Grammy help. When I return I am definitely going to need to tap some homeschool resources to get ideas to keep these ladies occupied. When left to their own devices, they have a tendency to spazz out - jump around and scream.

I also need to figure out the water thing. I haven't signed up for swimming lessons, but that is going to be a priority when we get back. Oh, and then there is camp. We are signed up for at least one week, and I think I'm going to add a second. Especially since its in their shiny new preschool building.

Last day of school shot - they were not cooperating

First day of school shot

I made something!



A skirt. Its not perfect, but its cute and it wasn't too hard.

Recent photo shoot

They are getting so big. *sigh*


You might be losing it when...

You decorate the dollhouse.

The girls like the family to co-sleep.


The living room needed art, a rug and a throw pillow.


I added a wall so that the upstairs had a bathroom and two bedrooms. It was bothering me.

Class of 2006


The fall of 2006 was a mini baby boom amongst my friends. I think 30% of the women at my baby shower were also pregnant. Two of my good friends had twins before and after the girls.

It has been such a blessing for them to get together and play and to have other moms to commisserate with.

This is the picture of the twins + the Klann boys (Irish twins).
