Super sisters...

These girls do everything together. And I'm cherishing these moments knowing they won't last forever. Maybe not even more than a few minutes. But I relish the time they are sweet and kind to each other.

When these girls were babies Mike and I had to pack a diaper bag for them with change of clothes, diapers & wipes and toys. These days they pack their own activity bags, complete with lovies, games, colors and other miscellaneous junk (they get angry when I say that, they prefer to call it treasures). Sometimes their backpacks weigh more than they do, but they know they are responsible for carrying them.

The weather was in the 80's there for a while (it's 50 as I type this) and the girls were getting some great outdoor time in with their new nanny! More on her later (the girls adore her!). 

 This little guy. He may not be family but he's the closest thing the girls have to a brother. Laney and Sammy could pass as siblings and when they are together? Fughettaboutit. They are giggling and playing and wreaking havoc. It's truly adorable to watch them together. Here they were finishing off a (rather large) cookie a la mode.

 Pushing their own miniature carts in daddy's favorite store: Trader J.oe's.

Laney received all 6 of the chipmunks for xmas several years ago and they remain to be her favorite toys. They go most places with her (if they fit in her activity bag!). Simon is missing...if anyone has spotted him can ya let me know? Mkay, thanks. We hear about Simon on a daily basis and can only say he's off looking for acorns for so long, you know?

 More outside time...

 What, you don't dress up as a super hero for outside play time? That's weird.

 Laney started swim lessons last month. She's not so into it. But it's baby steps, right? She has the rest of her life to swim laps (if she follows in her daddy's footsteps she'll be just fine).

Our road is preparing to be built out (paved and building more homes). Each day we never know what we'll come home to find out front. This was one of the largest pieces of equipment we've seen. Talk about an earth mover!
