I'm so fast!

I have to go to great lengths to keep Lily from leaping into the pool during Beatrice's swimming lessons. Sometimes this involves flipping her upside down (nearly breaking my back), sometimes it involves chasing her around the deck, other times hamming it up for the camera. I will persist in this circus though, because watching her swim ("I'm so fast!") is utter joy.

Christmas 2013

Sweet Bea

Goofing off at Elliot Bay Boos

This is Lily's acceptable Christmas outfit. She firmly rejected the fancy party dresses.

So excited about the handmade doll beds from Grandpa!

Headlamps!

My first ever attempt at croquembouche - not bad at all!

Lily fights the bug with goofballs and help from big sis

Visit #1 to the doc. Glove balloons first order of business.

Tracing feet next.

Followed later in the evening by ridiculous outfits.

Mini snow day! A 2 hour delay set us off to the coffee shop in full snow gear.

Poor L feels terrible, but she still rallied for a blueberry muffin.

The snowqueen is crowned.

Festiveness!

For some reason, Beatrice thought the giant otter was the coolest thing EVER.
