Slow and steady

February has been a month of mostly playing around inside, waiting for this great weather that is just now coming! We've had a great time though. Here's what we've been up to:


Wearing matching aquarium shirts...

Jamming away on Rock Band (even drawing in friends and Nana!)...

Stamping our feet (a play on words perhaps?)...

Enjoying the snow...

Making some chocolate chip cookies...

Riding a roller coaster on the couch...

Playing at the building museum with Uncle Brian...

And with Aunt Joanna...

Turning a pile of legos into...

... quite a construction!

Here are the girls in their every-three month pic with their Dee dolls. Elizabeth is now 2 and 3/4 and Vanessa is 4 and 1/2. Elizabeth is getting good with scissors and tracing lines, somersaulting, and even a little bit of pumping on the swing. Vanessa is getting good at listening, helping, being considerate, and focusing -- she is really growing up into something beyond the stage of toddler. I am really, really excited to see what they are going to do next!
