Spring Break 2013 - Sampler

We drove to Santa Cruz. It was slow. The weather was lovely. John surfed. I whined. We all survived and are glad we went.

This didn't last long :)

12 hour drive + lots of potty breaks = 18 hour drive
Ugh!

It's a good thing someone is able
to use mommy's running shoes.

Looking for Daddy surfing in the ocean water.

Lighthouse!

Because I'm feeling generous.





Spring Update

Life is good. Girls are great. Mommy and Daddy are on overload but hanging in there. That's it in a nutshell. 
Here are a few pics to hopefully keep you from abandoning the blog forever.

Lela's talking a ton and making lots of connections. Light posts and church steeples in our neighborhood have become light houses, but she's super interested and attentive when you tell her they have a different name. It's usually really fun to see what she has learned each day. Yesterday, however, as far as I can tell she learned to fake cry and "slam" doors. I'm thinking it was a rough day in the toddler room at school. "Slam! Slam! Slam!" she shouted as she slammed her bedroom door repeatedly at 9pm last night.

Cate mostly just giggles and grunts a lot. Her vocabulary has really improved but she doesn't have much interest in proper enunciation. We're working on strategies to help her out, but she's really pretty happy to let Lela do the talking.

Both girls are loving the warm weather and the opportunity to be outside more and they are rockin' their balance bikes... more pictures (and videos) of that to come.
