Backyard Photo Shoot

What do you get when you combine a perfectly lit April evening, a bench, and two cute girls? You got it! A photoshoot!

First, let's water the yard so it starts turning green.

Then we'll eat dinner so we're happy and full. (Yes, Emily is giving the "eat" sign!)

OK, now let's stand by this bench and look cute!

An intense conversation about dandelions

Addie sets out to explore the bench

Emily does her little hip wiggling dance

Addie eats some bark....

and then makes obscene gestures when I try to take it away

Emily gives me her flirty "come get me" look
She's started understanding "chase" and loves when Chris chases her around the coffee table

Mid-photo shoot, Chris came home from work, and he got quite a warm reception

Emily is in awe of her daddy!

Another attempt at the two at the bench with Dad's help, and we have smiles!

Now let's go explore the yard

LOOK! Over there!

Thanks for visiting!

See you next time!

Post-Easter Egg Hunt

The girls got to hunt Easter eggs with their twin friends Abbie and Ian. Well, they didn't really hunt eggs as much as open the eggs we threw on the blankets. They'd all had plenty of egg practice and knew how to get to the goodies.

On our way back home, I spotted a beautiful pink tree that I just had to show Emily and Addison. I'm not sure which they loved more, the tree, the dandelions growing under the tree, or the ants climbing all over the tree.

Addie's such a hugger. She'll even hug a pair of sunglasses.

This is Emily's flirt face. It starts as a smile, then the head tilt follows.
