Catch up

OK, I am hoping I will start posting more regularly, now that we have a desk top on our living floor and not just in our freezing basement. However, as another excuse, I only DLed these pics a few days ago and the vast majority of them were taken within the last 4 days (which is part of the reason I hadn't DLed any in a while) but anyway...here's a bunch which should satisfy the itch!
Daddy, Rowan and Kaylee on the recliner. Hey 2 out of 3 looking at the camera ain't bad!
Daddy reads to his favorite girls.
Outdoor Baby Magazine cover anyone? This was taken at the park just on Sunday! A new fav for sure.
The light was perfect for lots and lots of pics.
Here's Kaylee with her pal, Bailey at the park.
Kaylee tries out the twisty slide.
She had a blast racing around with Bailey.
They hatched a plot to go down the slide. 1...
2...
3... To reiterate how much we love our camera. We literally took 13 pics of the few seconds it took them to get from the top to the bottom. Be thankful I scaled it down for you.
Rowan was really digging the slide as well.
Check out the elation.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
As an adult, I think we forget how much fun slides and swings are. I had a nice reminder of that this winter while sledding with Kaylee. Being a kid is fun!
Rowan and Kaylee chill out on the couch.
Isn't Rowan nice sharing her toys?
Is it bad that I like this picture? Does it help at all that she was TOTALLY faking this?!
A moment before the camera appeared, Kaylee and Rowan were being really cute together right on the couch arm. Obviously that all changed in an instant.
This was the cutest it got after the camera was ready.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Rowan is getting into dressing up with her sister these days, and she really loves doing Kaylee's dance moves with her. She even says some of the terms which I can't spell in French so I won't bother trying.
I need to be better about doing video, as Rowan was dancing all around here which is not easily perceived through stills.
My little devil smiles.
We introduced Rowan to her first real art project this weekend as well. Shaving Cream finger paint. Kaylee is an old pro at this so she dug right in.
Rowan, was not so sure, so she remained cautious.
Kaylee shows off her masterpiece...
her hands!
Rowan mimics big sister.
"See I have a little on my hands too!"
All in all, a huge success!
Today, we went outside to enjoy the sun. We play a variation of hopscotch where we draw lots of shapes (and now write the names in them for Kaylee's benefit) and then call out the name of a shape and have the girls find it and jump to it.
Rowan was pleased at her first attempt at side walk art.
Loofy definitely loved the extended outdoor time today.
So did Petra, who surveyed her kingdom from the ledge.
She still thinks she's a puppy though, I have a bad feeling that this is going to end in a large vet bill someday :(
Rowan plays peek-a-boo ion the playhouse.
And discovers we have a slide in our very own yard!
Kaylee was really happy to be able to get to the swingset again.
And as always enjoyed playing in the playhouse.
Smile!
And that's about the size of it. That's literally everything off the camera and takes us up to about 5 hours ago!

I can't believe how big Rowan's gotten! Wow!

(I know the same could be said for Kaylee, but it's basically the same that we see with Nate in terms of expected development for a 3-4 year-old ... they're old news, right?)

Totally old-amazing news!
Hey are you guys ever planning an East Coast visit that you could squeeze us into. We'd love to see you and that amazing boy you guys keep around.
