City Escapes

We went to the Zoo this weekend. We ran into one of Viv's friends outside of the Reptile House.

The Giraffes are always a favorite.

Viv loves this statue.

This morning the girls ran around a splash fountain located next to the big farmers market.

Elli loved the water.

She was so intrigued.

The Last 4 Weeks - Part II

Last Friday was Viv's last day at the Toddler House. Above, Viv with her lead teacher Michelle. We are all going to miss her wonderful teachers but Viv is looking forward to starting at the Primary School in the Fall. Plus, Elli starts at the Toddler House in September so we still have memories to make there.

Viv and Graham... they have been in "school" together since they were 6 months old.

We went to the Zoo this past weekend. The hippos are finally in their new home. Surprisingly, they walk fast.

The Last 4 Weeks - Part I

I can't believe its been 4 weeks since I posted! We've been busy with daily life. No huge events to document - just lots of running around. The girls and I spent one morning in May at a craft show with friends. Above, the babies were sound asleep from all of the shopping in the fresh air.

We had surprise visitors sweep through one night. Above, Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Jim.

Elli put her entire face in the water!

We went to a friend's baby's 1st birthday party.

The girls loved the birthday cupcakes.

After cupcakes the kids played with water balloons.
