Easter

Mary is a pro at finding eggs.

Post egg hunt glee.

Showing off the fancy press-on nails that Nana and Pop sent. They lasted about 2 hours :-).

Fancy dresses.

Mary and Sonja made a home for themselves under the dining room table. 

"Helping" Afi eat his chocolate egg. Rosie is in the background eating her banana. It's only a matter of time until she knows what she's missing.

Splish splash

Mary and Rosie both love puddles. They both have rain suits that are great for this, unfortunately they weren't wearing them this time :-).

Ballet recital

Here is a video I took at Mary's recital (she is in the middle of the screen). Please pardon the poor camera work.

 

Running back...

 

 ...and forth through the puddle.

 

Washing rocks (and her hands).

 

Rosie chased a cat into the bushes then needed rescuing.

 

A little lipstick for the giraffe.

 

Rosie likes resting on the bathmat after she's clean.

 

Her favorite toy at the gym daycare is a Mike Tyson action figure.

 

Ballet hair.

 

Post recital glow.

 

A sneak peek while Mary was on stage.

School fun

 

Hammering away.

 

Navigating the obstacle course.

 

"Reading."

 

Rosie has discovered butter and there's no turning back now.

 

"Cah!"

 

And another cat. Both were friendly until they realized that Rosie's "petting" wasn't so gentle.

 

Bed jumping. The girls were sweaty by the end.

 

"Cheh!"

 

The baby stroller is back!

 

Biking and ice cream :-).

 

Rosie loved her watermelon.

 

Rosie took a dive while we were out for a walk :-(.

 

Some of Rosie's favorite toys going for a ride.
