Family dance night

Here's another round of our favorite family activity...

Just swinging around

Firefighter Jason visited school today and the girls were mighty proud to show off their new hats

 Looks like Cora got into that firehose!

(check out those curls!) 

Our independent girls

I can vividly remember Cora saying "my try" to everything starting around age 2... it appears as if Emi has the same determination and stubbornness starting even earlier. She only started doing stairs a few weeks ago, but clearly the ladder is just as tackle-able! SIGH --- I see many bumps and bruises in our future!

After all the rain we had, cleaning up sticks is a weekly chore. Cora's made it a personal mission to find the biggest ones possible and move them across the yard all by herself.

Playroom fun

The girls share their toys PRETTY well... today they both decided they wanted to use the chalkboard

 Emi looking like a left-hander

Emi's moved on to watercolors while Cora works on rainbow stripes

Playing in the puddles

What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon... the girls were eager to put on their rain boots and search for a puddle or two. Cora was a great mentor to lil sis on the best form for success. 

 Emi takes a break

Cora practices her balance beam

 Check out these bottoms!!!

Yes, the early evening was spent in the bathtub (and laundry room), SIGH! As Greg says, it's not fun if you don't get dirty...

Who's that girl?

Another day of gymnastics

Cora had a substitute coach today, but still she managed to have some fun! I may be biased, but I really think she's getting good :)
