Koda Tuesday

We had a nice time playing in the shade in front of the garage. The girls played with their scooters and tricycles and made some chalk art. 

They also had a little moment of silence for a tree that had been cut down:

First swim lesson

Today Nora & Brenna had their first preschool swim lesson.  Here they are getting a tour of the pool from their teacher Sam.  They had a great time while I watched from across the pool & chatted with another mom.  It's hard to believe how big they are.

More posing in boxes of course.

We just returned from 10 days at the NH cottage with Kwartlers & Kelly's while dad was away in Denmark for a conference.  We had a great time.  I'll post photos from that soon after I finish the cleanup from the water heater leak we discovered upon our arrival.

First zoo trip

My friend Susanah recommended Stone Zoo since its smaller & less crowded on the weekend.  We had lots of fun for our first visit with perfect weather.

The girls helped me put the toilet paper away on Saturday.  They are hilarious.

Currently we are being tortured as Lebron just missed the game winning shot at the end of regulation of NBA finals game two.  Ted was in San Fran for work this week & actually attended heartbreaking game one.  Why is it so hard to be a Cleveland fan.....

Dakota graduated & is home!

Congratulations to Dakota!  She graduated from Guilford College with a degree in Psychology in only 3 years.  And now she's back home with us & we couldn't be happier.  We celebrated her tonight & got to spend time with her dear friend Dylan.  Ted & I went on a date night in Cambridge last night which was a big treat.  

The girls imaginative play is a constant theme in our home.  They love to be dogs, babies, play grocery store, put each other to sleep, drive to the farm, and many more.  There are moments of autonomy that I welcome with open arms.

Brenna's language has exploded since our trip to Florida.  She has long, extensive explanations & her jokes are hilarious including her "you gotta be kidding me" bit.  She is rocking it on her new tricycle coordinating both steering & pedaling.

Nora is enjoying her tricycle, but prefers when Ted pushes her instead of pedaling.  She loves jumping into the pool with no fear though.  We had a blast today when we went for the first time of the season.

Here comes summer!

New Foods (but old post that failed upload)

The girls have been into trying new foods lately which I love because I was getting kind of tired of the same ol routine.  Last night was baked tofu & snack time today is carrots & celery dipped in PB with a side of edamame.  Pop goes the edamame :) Yum!

Brenna doing "these boots were made for walking".

First time on a seesaw.
