First Writing

Julia does some very cute and funny things.

On Friday, Julia was chewing something at about 9pm.  I asked her what she was eating.  She replied "I don't know, it is from school".  I asked if it was food and she said "I think so".  I asked her to spit it out so I could verify that it was food.  She swallowed and then told me "all gone" with a big smile.

This Rorschach test is Julia's first attempt at writing her name.  She made all the letters pretty well (from a biased parents' point of view).  But, she wrote them one on top of another so it is hard to read.

We planted flowers -- Julia had pink and Alex had orange -- to celebrate spring.

We also had fun with balloons.

Tulips

Alex and Julia really enjoyed their trip to the tulip fields last weekend. Julia liked the mud and Alex liked taking pictures. Both were really good about the traffic and lines and nobody picked the flowers.

San Diego Vacation

We had a wonderful time in San Diego this week - the beach, pool, Legoland, Seaworld, hiking, and the park. Alex loved the Star Wars exhibit at Legoland and he loved running from the surf. Julia loved the Shamu show at Seaworld and Elmo's Flying Fish ride. It was great to get away as a family.

Happy Easter

Alex and Julia had fun in the sunshine today. They went on an easter egg hunt with Emily and Connor. Then they played for over 2 hours outside with the neighbor kids. Throughout they ate a lot of candy

Another Fun Week

We had another fun week that included a playdate with Luke & Sophie, a trip to the indoor playground at the mall, another meeting with R2D2, and lots of good playtime at home. Unfortunately, Julia has been sick today but she has been really brave.
