A few funny stories

I've sent these stories to the grandparents and other family, but thought others might enjoy them:

Cambria bought a porcelein tea set with her $5 Easter money from her grandparents. She told me this morning, "I shouldn't have bought this tea set. I'm obsessed with it...I can't stop playing with it."

Cambria and Avery were playing doctor recently. Cambria asked Avery, "what issues do you have?" Avery responded by going into the bathroom and bringing back tissues for Cambria.

Avery loves the computey (computer). She knows how to say computer but thinks it is hilarious to call it computey.

A Snow Day

We received a late March snow last night and this morning. When it was over, we had about 3 inches, which is a lot for here. The girls went out last night and this morning before it all melted away.

Cambria is catching snowflakes on her tongue.

Avery always has to do what "sister" is doing.

Making Easter eggs

Cambria thoroughly enjoyed decorating eggs this year. It was the first year that I've done this activity with her. I feel bad that it's taken so long, but last year Jeff and I were traveling the country to interview with churches...the year before that Avery was young and I let it slip away.

Avery had very little interest in decorating eggs this year. She was more inclined to pull over the tablecloth and knock over the colored water. :-)

A cute ballet picture

Cambria is loving ballet. I've been amazed at how much she has learned this year. She is very excited about her recital in June.

A ponytail

Avery is always feeling her hair to see if it is as long as "sister's." The other day I was able to pull it back in a ponytail. She was so proud.

A little singing and dancing from Avery

It is rare that I can capture Avery doing anything on video. She seems to shut down when the camera is on. However, this particular day she was in a little more of a performance mood since Aunt Katie was visiting. I think that the grandparents, aunts and uncles will enjoy this view of the ever changing Avery.

A pregnancy update

Several people have requested a belly picture (this one is thanks to my great photographer, Cambria). I am 26 weeks and feeling pretty good these days. However, I see this photo and realize that I feel a LOT bigger than I look.

Another snow day in the mountains

My sister Katie arrived from Jacksonville, FL last night. Her one request was to see snow. I wasn't sure if we'd be able to fulfill the request since Snoqualmie Pass has received an immense amount of snow this winter, and has closed several times due to heavy snow or avalanches. Fortunately, we had a fairly easy time today. We drove to the Sno-Park we visited before and Katie got to see the beautiful scenery, have her snow fix and the girls enjoyed it, too. We couldn't walk around much due to the deep snow. Katie and I kept falling through up to our knees. If we go up there again in the next few weeks, Jeff and I will take our snow shoes so we don't sink through, and can take the girls on some fun sledding spots.
