Catie's impromptu hair cut

Gymnastics class

The girls are taking a trampoline and tumbling class this summer.  Miranda is in blue, Erika in purple, and Catie is in pink.  Unfortunately, the gym is dim so the pictures are a bit grainy. 



Below, Catie practices a back flip. 



Miranda waits her turn on the trampoline.  Erika is waiting behind her. 



And Erika, after she climbs out of the foam pit. 

The audience

Ready to watch Erika's lastest production.

Hello Kitty

After 3 long years, I finally finished the girls' Hello Kitty painting.  The are framed and hanging in their rooms.
Can you guess which painting goes with which girl?

Catie and Miranda

Miranda and Catie are having fun on the play structure. 

Erika's new art canvas

Erika was so inspired by Star Wars that she drew pictures of the main characters on her tummy. 

Catie and Miranda turn 4!

It is a bit of a challenge to get the twins to comply with boring photos when princess cakes are in play.


Catie and cousin Maya take a look at each other.

Erika is keen to get a hand on Catie's birdhouse.

Miranda gets something pink.  Perhaps another robot pet.  The best kind.

View on the flight out to Grandma's last month!

1950s night fund-raiser at school

Sunny Day Pictures

Today was the second sunny weekend day in our area. Oh, how have we missed the sun.

Erika pretends to be circus kitty complete with hoop to jump through.


Miranda feels the need to wear her sunglasses inside the house as her eyes are not used to all of this light.



Catie is just happy to get in on the picture fun.

Center for Wooden Boats Field Trip

Monday morning

Today was a busy morning. After we dropped Erika off at school, Miranda and Catie had a swimming lesson at the YMCA. Catie is in the pink and Miranda is in the blue.



Here Miranda practices the backstroke with teacher Alissa.


And now it is Catie's turn.



Erika was named star of the week this week. One of the benefits to being star of the week is having lunch with your family. So the three of us headed over to the school to have lunch with our star. No pictures were taken during lunch as I had to fight Miranda for my PB&J sandwich. Guess she was hungry after swimming.

After lunch the kids have free choice. So Erika decided to read her sisters a Clifford the dog book. (Still going with the theme of Catie in pink and Miranda in blue)

Then it was time for us to go home. Although I think C & M wanted to stay. Do you think Erika's teacher would notice two additional students in her class? Hmmmm.

Science Center field trip!

With 12 adult chaperones for 23 kids, I was only in charge of Erika and her pal Zoe.
