Toddling around

It is so fun to watch Danielle toddle around with her stroller - her new favorite thing to do. She gets so excited whenever she sees her stroller.

The Hat

Samantha's hat is a family favorite.

Maryland Zoo

We thought we'd explore the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore. It was fun, but we like our zoo better (and it's free).

Can I play?

Danielle loves to play, and she wants to do whatever her big sisters are doing.

Danielle loves music

Our Rebekah

What a big girl. Rebekah is really growing up. She loves first grade, reading, writing, drawing, playing with her friends, and being in charge. She's such a good girl.

Our Samantha

Our sweet Samantha. She has always added humor and adventure to our family. We just love her. Right now her favorite response (for everything) is "Oh my!"

We've decided to put Samantha in one more year of preschool before she starts kindergarten. We want her to really be ready for kindergarten and to have a great experience.

Our Danielle

Danielle is growing up so fast. It's hard to believe she's already 13 months (and climbing stairs).

Girl Play

The girls are always playing either 1) doll house, 2) animals, 3) kitchen, or 4) all of the above.

Bedtime Routine

This is Samantha. Our bedtime routine with Samantha: We put her to bed. A few minutes later we hear footsteps. Then we see Samantha on the stairs. Repeat the process ...

Spring?

Two weeks ago we had snow. Then last week we were wearing shorts. Who would have guessed that we would wake up to snow this morning. What a fun surprise.
