WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is April. WHAT????????????? How could it be. Okay- now that I got that out of the way. I am still here but just couldn't fit blogging in between taking care of my girls, cooking dinner, laundry, studying for my classes, and LOST. So here are some pictures of what we have been doing. I didn't include a picture of me watching LOST but I don't think you actually want to see a picture of me watching LOST. If you do, I would be concerned.
SPRING is awesome here in Maryland. There are so many trees that it is fun to see them stretching after a cold winter. On Saturday morning we got up early and went down to D.C. to see the Cherry Blossoms along the Tidal Basin by the Jefferson Memorial.
We thought there wouldn't be too many people but we were wrong. Everywhere we turned there were photographers taking pictures of the blossoms, engaged couples, and brides. It was really windy but worth the trip down there to see. Jed is the photographer in this photo of us.
Here are some recent photos of the girls. I seem to be doing a series of pictures of them in small places. Pictures they can look back and say, "Whoa. I was small."
"Getting All Dried Off"
"Sitting in the Blanket Bucket"
"Lounging in the Windowsill"
The next thing up are a couple of videos of us at the park. This is the park we always go to. This is where Kaley learned to cross the monkey bars. It is close and big and there are usually some kids to play with. Actually, the other day we went late in the afternoon and there was a group of older elementary school aged kids from an after school daycare. I was amazed because Kaley went up to this girl who was with a group of kids and started playing with her. I don't know if the girl was fine with Kaley playing with them or if she wondering why this little girl was following them around. I was debating if I should say something or just let her tell Kaley herself if she wanted to be left alone. I decided not to say anything and Kaley played with them almost the entire time we were there. I guess I was surprised because Kaley had no inhibitions about going up to an older girl and being like, "Hey, want to play with me?"
Anyways- here are the videos.
Kaley doesn't love riding her bike. She will do it for short periods of time, almost not worth the effort to load her bike up in the car and take it to the park.
Here is Anna picking up trash off the ground. To be honest, I really dislike this aspect of the oral phase. Nasty stuff gets picked up and unfortunately I am not always able to get it before it goes into the mouth.
