Socks

It is very rare when Ana is wearing matching socks. Yesterday morning she was wearing one sock that she wore when she was a newborn! Never a dull moment with this child!

Aunty Carol

Yesterday we were able to have a short visit with our friend Carol. The girls love her and they can't wait to visit her in Chicago next month. They've been talking about our visit from last year and I'm surprised they remember!

Flowers & Succulents

It is starting to feel like spring. We can actually go outside without a coat! Of course frost is still a possibility (last year it snowed on April 15th and killed the flowers in our Mongolia tree).

We are SO excited that our peach and nectarine trees have flowers! Last year's winter was so severe that the trees didn't bloom. We are looking forward to the delicious summer fruits.

On a different note, my succulents are "on rehab". I got good drainage soil and cactus plant food. I'm hoping the droopy plants will come alive one more time.

Happy Spring!

DQ - Emma and Ana

Cameron took the girls out for some ice cream while I spent some time in the office. I think it is the first day that it has been over 70 degrees!

Vintage Purse

This morning Ana and I went to an estate sale and got a purse and two bracelets. The purse is in great condition and it was stuffed with old DC newspapers and a Sears catalog from 1964! How cool is that?!?

Puddles

I specifically told the girls not to get in the puddles while playing outside. Who was I kidding!

Ana's Birthday Party

Unfortunately I didn't take a lot of pictures of Ana's birthday party but I can tell you that she had so much fun! And this time the piñata had candy in it (Cameron made a hole in one leg and stuffed the candy inside). We had pizza, nachos and smoked chicken for lunch. Cameron smoked the chicken and it was excellent!! We also had homemade vanilla ice cream with the cake and cupcakes.

Ana is wild but she brings so much joy to our lives!
