fun with Lizard

We haven't had too many days to enjoy the outdoors but we make the most of it when we can! The girls found a lizard and they had a blast!

Surprise visit!

Last Friday, the girls and I were lucky enough to get a visit from my aunt Denise and uncle Bill. Although, they were only able to stay a little while it was so fun seeing family and getting a real hug. The girls were so glad to see them and I was too!

Dance sillies!

Monday afternoons are so fun...Lu has dance and she is really allowed to wear what she wants. Now Viley is getting involved and can't wait to get to dancing! She still has to wait until summer but the teacher will keep the door open so she can see.

I laugh because she tries to hard to follow and during ballet she works so hard!

camping in!

Jason was out of town over the weekend and the girls wanted to camp out inside! So we did-what else can you do to excite a cold night?! And not to be left out...Nesta was right with them!

Please watch...

Our Minister's wife was actually in Haiti when the earthquake hit. She has a wonderful heart and was interviewed by one of the local news channels. Please keep those affected by the earthquake in your prayers and do what you can to help. Our church here has a lot of ties to Haiti, in fact there was a group scheduled to leave the next day- all moms with kids! Of course that trip has been postponed.

Lu's playdate

Look at Viley! too funny!

Well, Lu's social calendar is keeping us busy! This morning her friend Liam came over to play. It was so fun listening to her with her friend.

Viley wasn't too fond since she we don't have to share our sis often. It was fun to watch!

Red shoulder Hawk

This amazing bird has spent a lot of time in our backyard. The girls and I have enjoyed watching him in the afternoon. I just think he is beautiful!

Bear cam

This was forwarded to all the 3yr olds at Lu's school thought you might find it fun to share with you. This is Lily the bear and her den. http://www.bear.org/website/visit-us/lily-den-cam.html
