March Wrap-up


Here are some photos from home and a few from Easter weekend. The girls had a blast as usual in West Virginia.
Violet is such a big girl these days. She has quite a personality and learns a lot from Eleanor. Our current favorite is "oh, man!"
She came home from school today fascinated by the idea of "up and down" and at dinner she marveled at the way the ice cubes in her cup went up and down as she took sips. This lasted for about an hour or so, until they melted.
There are so many things about Violet that remind me of Eleanor at that age, yet just as many new things that are unique to her and her personality. She is a complete goofball and is constantly trying to come up with ways to make all of us laugh.
Eleanor's reading has taken off incredibly. Her homework tonight was to read Casey and I a chapter from a Polar Bear science book and she did so beautifully. She is mighty proud of herself and loves to tell people that she is a bookworm.
The girls are sharing a room now, and so far so good. They love to snuggle. We'll see how long it lasts...

Hey Conners! Happy spring...lucky. That jumping video is so cute. Isn't it great what little it takes to absolutely thrill their pants off. Amelia is doing the up down too, except she says out for up or down or up for out...not quite getting it yet, funny though. I wish the girls could play together, I know they would have so much fun. Amelia says "h'woah". Anyway,talk to you later.
