Kaleidoscope Mary

 

Mary discovered yet another fun feature on the iPad camera.

 

Conversing with Afi.

 

Getting comfortable with the iPad.

 

The novelty of playing in Rosie's crib hasn't worn off yet. 

Summer in Iceland

 

Bouncy house on the "first day of summer" in Iceland. There were snow flurries while we were out.

 

Face painting :-).

 

Mary and Elinor showing off their faces.

 

Rosie has been uncooperative about food lately, but Mary wanted to give it a shot.

 

Mary wanted to help Rosie accessorize.

 

Snuggling in Rosie's crib.

 

Dr. Mary.

 

Tummy time on the kitchen floor.

Sick day

We've all been a bit sick lately -- Bjossi and Rosie have colds and Mary and I have strep throat.

 

Playing a duet.

 

Boogying with "Bo on the Go."

 

"Mama, do you like it when I do like this?"

Road trip

 

The weather was snowy on the way out of Reykjavik. This is Iceland.

 

Both girls proved they are good car companions during the long drive.

 

A quick stop at the glacial lagoon.

 

Bjossi hung out with Gisli at the farm.

 

Rosie and Gisli were very entertained by each other.

 

The weather was nice on Saturday so we spent time outside.

 

Trying out the tractor.

 

"Look at this big snowball!"

 

Mary and Anna got along well.

 

"A long time ago my name was Mary, but now it's Policeman."

 

I think they're all watching the iPad. Mary was so excited about going in the hot tub that she insisted on wearing her bathing suit all day.

 

Rosie and Gisli "sharing" toys.

 

Scoping out dessert.

 

Watching a prinsessa movie. 

This and that

 

Ready for Amma's birthday party.

 

Sonja was happy to pose for pictures before Mary's ballet recital.

 

After the recital, with her flower. Unfortunately we didn't get any good photos of the performance because of the lighting :-(.

 

Rosie was hanging with her peeps today.

 

She loves the giraffe and isn't going to give it up without a fight.

 

Rosie tried munching on some pizza crust tonight and loved it!

Recent happenings

 

Yummy ice cream!

Once again making her hair "fancy" with shampoo.

 

Rosie gave Cheerios a try, but I don't think she's quite ready. This toothless grin is about to be no more since her first tooth broke through this morning.

 

Some post-bath relaxation in her bathrobe.

Easter package

 

Mary was so excited about her gifts from Nana and Pop.

  

"Do you see how it lights up, Mama?"

 

Modeling her new booties and munching on her new teething toy (perfect timing!).

 

Crunching numbers with Pabbi.

 

Pabbi's turn for tummy time.

 

Very excited about her chocolate milk and princess bandaids.

 

Without being prompted Sonja said "Cheese!" when I held up the camera. 

 

Learning letters together.

 

Seesaw!

Smiles

 

Morning smiles.

 

Pabbi the juggler.

 

Rosie emptied the toy basket.

 

But not for the toys. She wanted to munch on the tag.

 

Mary the dealer. She's quite the shark when it comes to Go Fish and Old Maid.
