Heels

16 months going on 16 years old.

Capris?

This is what capris look like on Anna. Her short legs make us laugh! She is too cute for words :).

life with little girls =

DRESS UP

Gracie insisted on wearing this to bed tonight! We sure love our girls!!

Anna's version of "thank you"

Counting . . . in French!

Thankfully, Justin & I learned this skill a long time ago, but now Gracie is catching up . . . with a much better accent than we have!

Growing

Now that Anna is walking she seems to be so grown up! And her hair is growing SO fast these days! It makes her look more like a kid than a baby sometimes.



5:30 nap time?

After a fun, full afternoon at a French friend's house, the girls crashed on the way home in the stroller (our "car").

We woke them up shortly after taking the pictures to make sure that they would go back to sleep at bed time. They were a little out of it and needed some mommy cuddles!

Haircut

It was time for another haircut for Gracie. Her hair grows so fast! I'm not naturally the "do it yourself" haircut type, but I know it will be necessary in Africa, so I'm learning!

Anna's New Favorite Activity

Not only can Anna now walk, but she LOVES to push the stroller around!

She CAN walk . . .

. . . though she usually would rather crawl. Please forgive the lack of shirt & rolled up pants. It was the end of the day, just before bath!

Jump Session

This was Friday morning in our home. Jumping was the exciting activity!

 Thanks, Aunt Kirsten & Uncle Chris for the awesome stickers!

They were used up within minutes!

 The girls love to decorate their room and make it "fancy."

Story time with daddy before bed (and, yes, fighting over the crackers). 

A Package Saves The Day

A package from Mimi & Pa saved the day on Saturday! The girls were having a rough morning. One of those days where you feel like everyone just needs to go back to bed and start the day over again. The package arrived and made the rest of the day so much better. Thanks Mimi & Pa!

 Puffs!!

Hanging Out

Lac du Bourget

Saturday morning we took the bus to the "beach" at nearby "lac du Bourget." A couple other families went with us, and all the kids had fun playing.

 The girls were excited to take their sand toys!

 Gracie loved building sand castles!

 Daddy had fun playing in the sand too!

Sisters Having Fun

 Anna is giving Gracie a back massage...

Who is having the most fun?
