Picture Fest

Some pictures from the last couple weeks...I've been so busy running after the girls, that I haven't had time to post. They are EVERYWHERE! My daughters are on the move. I'm not sure if they ever hold still. They even sit-up and stand in their cribs. But, we are having SO much fun. They laugh and smile all the time. Their personalities are really blooming. They won't be babies much longer. Sigh.



Lily and Elsa in their birthday-girl party dresses.



Our family on a hike overlooking Emerald Bay at Lake Tahoe. (E, L)


On a bridge over a waterfall. The girls like their backpacks.



Elsa and her first dolly.



Lily and Elsa inspect Grandma's earrings.


Lily checks out one the refurbished carebears from the McLaughlin/Angyus clan. My Grandma N made these bears for Meggan and Sara over 20 years ago. They have been much-loved. The McLaughlin girls and Grandma A fixed them up for Lily and Elsa for their first birthday. What a cool present! They even stitched Lily and Elsa's names on the paws.



Lily eats(?) her pasta. The girls now insist on feeding themselves. Jar food is for babies! My kitchen floor is a lost cause.



Lily and Elsa in their new sandbox from Mommy and Daddy. Elsa still thinks sand is tasty.


They spend hours plotting escape attempts and trying to find the cat. (E,L)



They can also get up stairs with no problem.



Playing with their toys. Lily, especially, spends almost all her time standing. If we set her down, she will pull up on something. Elsa likes to go on crawling explorations. This gets us into interesting situations where Elsa will try to crawl between Lily's legs. Chaos!
