a trip to paradise.

Sorry for the long overdue post.  A vacation to Florida was just what we all needed and now it seems like a distant memory.  The girls traveled like champs and Grammy and Grandpa were such gracious hosts.  We spent the week playing in water, eating sand, visiting with the Disney princesses, feeding giraffes and relaxing.  The vacation was a success.

We were very successful in our back-to-back egg hunts over Easter weekend.  This year, Maisie decided to keep some of her eggs instead of giving them all away.

We recently celebrated Natalie's first birthday.  We threw her a bash complete with family, friends, good food and a balloon artist.  It was a blast!  Here's the day in photos.

The girls have been loving the warmer weather! Here they are enjoying an afternoon wagon ride.

This is what Natalie has to say about the Republican candidates.

Maisie had her first swim lesson and Natalie cheered her on. I'm happy to report that she can kick, blow bubbles and she's starting the paddling motion with her hands.

a merry christmas for all.

Christmas was a blast. Maisie showed Natalie how to unwrap gifts. Note her special technique of throwing the paper over head.
