Cheesing - A Verb

Me: What are you doing Lily?
Lily: I'm cheesing.

Can you tell she's been told to say cheese a few too many times? She's made it into a verb.

Performance Time

Grace loves to be in front of the camera. Liliana requires a little more coaxing.
Clip #1 - Grace performs her ABC's
Clip #2 - Lily performs "Hey Diddle Diddle"
Clip #3 - The girls recite their first "paraphrased" Bible memory verse. God is with you always. Matthew 28:20

Palm Desert Recap

The girls are saying and doing tons of funny things lately. Someday I'll feel witty enough to write about their antics. For now I'll just show a ton of photos from our recent trip to Palm Desert.


We took the aerial tram to the top of the mountain and it was cold up there!




The slide into the pool at the resort was a favorite of the girls. Grace would immediately say, "I want to go again Daddy," each time they reached the bottom. One day they went down over twenty times.




Lily and Mommy on the slide


Grace is taller than Lily but not as much taller as this picture seems to show.


Grace is painting an old VW bug at the Children's Museum. She also got her first shiner last week due to a head-on collision with her sister.

Grace stocking up on carbs at the Children's Museum grocery store


An almost natural smile from Lily


Ninety-percent of the time when I ask the girls to smile this is what I get...


Lily happy to be back at home in her "I must have these"
