Spring has Sprung...
and summer break is just around the corner. This momma is looking forward to a little r & r!
I took my counseling licensure exam in April (no results yet), graduated on May 11th, and am officially way behind on paperwork at work with only a week left. This post is some serious procrastination.... while sipping a cocktail at Sunray Cafe. Hey, if you're going to be off-task, might as well do it right!
Here's a glimpse of what we've been up to lately....

Trips to the zoo....
Reading in Mommy's 40 year old embroidered shirt (made with love by Mum)
Raiding the box of hand-me-downs for dress up...
More potty practice...
Bathtub fun...
Snow days (okay this was a few months ago)...

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.

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