random stories and pics

Smile, everyone say cheese!

A moment of peace and play (prior to the realization that sand flies pretty easily), then they both end up with it in their eyes. It's nice though when I get those brief glimpses of what future play will hopefully be between them.
The girls actually had their first real interactive game between them the other day, it was so darn cute. We were in the bathroom (a place we still spend a large portion of our day in). There was a tennis ball in the bathroom (not at all unusual to have random toys around the hosue). The girls were actually rolling it back and forth between each other. It of course took some encouragement at times for them to roll it back and forth, but they were. It was so stinkin cute, as Aubrey would get so excited in anticipation. She would clench her whole body up and let out these loud squeals. I couldn't capture it on camera however, was having to much fun watching them, and the peace wouldn't have existed if I had left.

Lily marker hands, I guess olives aren't the only thing you can do this with.


This was one of those priceless moments that I will always remember. Lily came up to me with her binoculars and told me she was pumping. That wasn't even something I was doing at that moment, so hilarious. Sad though that her binoculars are almost at belly level, unfortunately a very realistic impersonation.
