Easter pictures of the girls! What more could you ask for?

Picture of the week

I can be majestic too, Daddy.
(See Fig. 3 from Feb. 9thpost)

But I'd rather just be a silly, giggly girl.

February Antics

February seriously just flew by. Even with that extra day. Those of you who remained loyal and still checked the blog religiously only to find no new entry will now be rewarded with one big fat ginormous entry. And those of you who stopped reading because of 3 weeks inactivity, I see how it is! :) Some friends you are.

Things that happened to us in February

Ben grew a beard. A really crazy beard.

Chloe started crawling and pulling herself up to stand. It's not very pretty, but it gets her around town.

Chloe developed an addiction to teddy grahams. But honestly, can anyone really blame her? Those things are fantastic!

We made the mistake of taking Elise to her first carnival. She loved her first ride so much she had to be forcibly removed from it, wailing the whole time. The crying stopped when we offered more tickets for rides. But was even worse once that one stopped.

A picture of both girls smiling! But not looking at the camera.


A visit from Uncle Josh! With requisite awesome picture taking.


Elise learned to use a computer all by herself. She’s also in negotiation to start her own job next week. She’s always loved the computer and she learned to move the mouse around a while ago. But she didn’t understand how you got the mouse to do something until she discovered the buttons. And the scroll wheel. Now she’s a pro and can play games all by herself, which is kind of nice.


I had a crazy running month. Last week I ran 60 miles over 5 days. It was great fun but I ended up with some sort of leg injury which I am just praying is not a stress fracture. If it is, no Boston for me this year, so keep your fingers crossed!
