Snaggle tooth girl.

We love Eloise's teeth-in-transition smile.

Carousel.

Abby loves the otter because he has a seashell.

Flower Garden.

Eloise really wanter her picture with Abby. Abby had a hard time holding still.

More Eloise smile.

Carousel again.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us for spring break. Guess were we went?

Fun with Grandma

Hugs for Mickey

Hidden Mickey.

Eloise's new pastime at Disneyland is to find hidden Mickey's. Here is one she found in line for Toy Story. Three spots on the dinosaur's cheek make a Mickey Mouse head.

Rain Day.

Since they don't get to dress up to play in the snow, my girls go all out for a rainy day.

Puddle Splashing Style.

Another Eloise Smile.

Abigail.

Visit to the zoo.

We visited the San Diego Safari Zoo for my birthday. The girls enjoyed a walk through the avairy.

And a run through the avairy.

Feeding Lorikeets.

Abby was delighted with the birds, but didn't want to hold the food. Distance is a little more comfortable.

Eloise and Lorikeets.

Eloise is thrilled to have the birds land on her.

Zoo playground.

This is one of the girls' favorite spots at the zoo.

Butterfly Jungle.

Abby is still a little wary of butterflies landing on her, but she likes to watch them.

Butterfly visitor.

Eloise waits and waits for butterflies. She was pleased to have one land on her, but a little frustrated at how hard it is to look at a butterfly on just the wrong spot of her wrist. She was afraid it would fly away if she turned it upside down.

Pinewood derby.

As a regular cub scout tag-along, Eloise was determined to make a pinewood derby car this year. She got to run her rainbow rocket in the sibling races.

Playtime with Dad.

Daddy you are home! Daddy gets to be pony mountain.

Easter Eggs.

Abby enjoyed helping to put eggs in the dye, and letting us know when they were colorful enough.

Easter Egg Scribe.

Eloise likes drawing on the eggs with the "invisible crayon" and watching her designs appear.

Easter egg hunt.

Easter Girls.

The demise of the chocolate bunny

Easter Egg Hunt 2.

The Easter Bunny hides eggs for the morning, Mom hides eggs after church... a few times.

Eloise's Butterfly

We visited the butterfly jungle again when Holly came to visit us after Easter. Eloise enjoyed taking pictures of the butterflies. This is her best shot.

Holly and Abby

Abby's Butterfly.

Break in the splash zone.

It was a warm enough day the cool water felt great. The girls got soaked. Holly and I even tried a little splashing.

Dripping wet.

Looking for Butterflies.

Visit with the insects.

I brought live insects to Eloise's class. She enjoyed a little one on one time with them after school.

Hissing Roach.

If you ask Eloise what her favorite insect is, she will say Hissing Roaches! She especially likes to hold the girls.

Tooth gone.

Eloise lost her second front tooth. She lost one on the bottom just a few days earlier.
