Pictures for Dada

I'm always short on time, but here are recent pictures.

Moving West!

This is old news to many (about 3 weeks), but we are moving to San Francisco! John started a new job recently, and the girls and I will move out in a month or once we have a place to live and have things settled and stuff. We are all super happy about this. Ok, really- I'm trying not to sound like a teenage girl, but I am that excited.

I wanna talk to Dada, please

The girls were out jumping when my sister was on the phone with her husband. Macy walked over and clearly said "I wanna talk to Dada, please." By the time I found the camera she was a bit frustrated and not talking as clearly, but here is what I captured.

P.S. Most of what Macy says are sentences ending in "please", and as I opened our blog both girls pointed to Tibu and said "Beebu!" We are talkers.

Last picture on my camera before it went bonkers

Utah!

For months I've been craving some good laughs. Then I found out that my youngest sister Emily would be visiting my sister Liz for the summer (meaning two of the most fun women I know are in the same place)...I HAD to crash this party. So, when John needed to fly to San Fran, the girls and I tagged along as far as Utah. My sisters and I have been acting like fools and laughing our post-baby bodies back into shape.

The little ones have also had fun. They swam with cousins, started wearing pig tails, and learned about many things like go-gurt and scooters.

and they enjoyed my birthday.

Camillie colored everything with chalk- here she is at work by the Koi pond

When its quiet

Quick, go looking. This is usually where I find the girls:

Macy in the Park

We went to the park. It was my day for Macy (odd days in even-numbered years). I had the camera. Here is what I got.

Same park trip

But Camy was around for a photo or two.

Snuggling Baby

As the girls have gotten older, they have lost what I thought was some of their snuggliness. I think when younger, they just didn't have the coordination to do what they wanted. As toddlers they had very little interest in being held. But as they get bigger and seem to tire at times, they are regaining some of that snuggliness.

The word of the day (every day) is ball

The contest between "ball" and "shoe" as the #1 repeated word is a closely contested struggle in our house. Ball refers to circles, balls, and balloons. Here Macy is very concerned about the balloon not in her hand, but the one that escaped to the ceiling. This balloon was the gift of CVS. The girls said "ball" so many times in the store that the attendants just gave us their balloons.
