Backed into a Corner

Another First

Paige sat on her own in the corner of our couch for quite awhile. Brooklyn insisted on a picture with her. Mom, do you recognize the "ballet" outfit Brooklyn is sporting? It may not be considered completely modest, but around the house it's just right.

Blue Dresses and Curly Locks

Our new camera is so fun to have, but I'm afraid that we will have so many pictures that I won't know how to store/save/present all of them. I take pictures almost daily - the girls look cute; have something cute on; are doing something cute or for the first time or second time etc etc. I could just go crazy! And then how do you balance it out. Paige is still is the not-moving-very-much stage of her life and Brooklyn doesn't quit moving. Who do you think has more pictures? I'm pretty sure it isn't because I love one more than the other. ANYWAY, both Brooklyn and I did our hair curly for church. She LOVES to be twins with mom. People thought it suited her. Funny, they didn't say anything about mine and Paige, well, she doesn't have much to curl.

In a Tree Top

Brooklyn decided she wanted to climb up this tree while playing at Strathcona park. We spent the afternoon there on a lovely day in between many rainy ones. We soaked up the sunshine while adventuring along the many paths and throwing rocks into the South Saskatchewan River. The wonderful spring day was enjoyed by our whole little family.

Mother's Day

I'm enjoying being a mom to Paige and Brooklyn - they are so cute!

Bumsie

Brooklyn has learned to get up from a bumsie - even with a sprinkler underneath. She was so proud of herself.

Look who's getting married

After Brooklyn spent the morning getting dressed (and undressed) for her wedding, she decided it was Paige's turn to get married. She usually likes to wear the veil down over her face.

Go Cougars Go!

Evan is the son of one of Russ' co-workers that had their second son hours after Paige was born. It was pure luck that the two ended up on the same team (or maybe there are some higher powers at work - we'll have to think about that).

What a beautiful day for soccer! We all had fun cheering Brooklyn and her 3 year old teammates through their first soccer game. Of course it mostly consisted of them running behind the ball in a large group. Russ can't believe that Brooklyn is his daughter (no daughter of his would shy away from taking the ball from another child). I have to remind him that she is just 3.
