We Are TWO!

Sylvia and Evelyn turned 2 at 7:17pm and 7:18pm, April 28th! What a huge milestone for them and for David and I. Here are some pictures of their special day. Gram and Gramps were in town and we all went to the Baltimore aquarium, out for lunch, back home for naps, up for presents, birthday cake and pizza. Such good fun. Their birthday party with their friends is May 7th. Happy Birthday my sweet little girls.

Hot Spring Days

We've had several HOT spring days lately. And, Gram and Gramps visited us again for a whole week! We spent most days outdoors when it was nice. The girls enjoy snacking, bubbles, swingset, sandbox, sprinkler. We are so very fortunate to have such great outdoors space for the girls. Probably overkill on pictures, but oh well.

Easter!

The girls had a great Easter and got into their easter surprises the Friday before. Silly girls. They are now officially crazy for easter baskets and bubbles. It's almost worse than the iPad for Sylvia. She's obsessed. Wakes up from naps -- My Easter Ba Bak. We had the Davis' over for an egg hunt and dinner (non-traditional burgers on the grill!). Ducks even paid us a surprise visit, but Wyatt was quick to chase the off. So cute! On Monday, the girls went to the White House Easter Egg Roll with Gram and Gramps.

Perfect Day for Ice Cream

It was a week away from their first birthday and super lot -- like close to 90 degrees, so I took the girls for their first ice cream at Baskin Robbins. The shared one kids cup of cookies and cream and strawberry ice creams. They both did a great job and barely made a mess. Sylvia was very sad when hers turned to liquid and Evelyn would have eaten the cup if I let her. Little piggies.

Easter Egg Hunt

Our new neighbhorhood hosts lots of fun activities. This weekend we attended the Easter Egg Hunt. It was good fun. The girls collected lots of eggs and experienced their first M&M and jellybeans. There was really no stopping it. They were crazy for the candy. They had a great time, but Sylvia continues to freak out around characters. She seriously freaked a few weeks ago when we went to meet the Hungry Caterpillar.

Mt Vernon

We've mentioned before we are members of Mt Vernon. When Evelyn was down with a cough last week they skipped our typical activities with friends and headed down the road to Mt Vernon.

First Popscicle

Evelyn had a cough and the doctor said "give her a popscicle." We've done honey before, but not this. Of course, both had to have one. They loved it.

Everyday Cuteness!

Can you tell they are just full of it? Personality...that is!

Daddy Mo Mo

When Grandpa visited this time, he brought Daddy a really exciting gift. A Harley Davidson motorcycle. The girls call it "Daddy's Mo-Mo." I don't know why I don't have a picture of David on it, but here's Grandpa and the girls (Evelyn first and Sylvia second).

Benson's Upon Us!

The Benson's came to DC! It was a BIG deal for both of Mommy's brothers (Uncle Gage and Uncle Shane) to come visit, along with Grandpa and Grandma Debi. What good fun! We went to the Capitol, Pentagon, and a few museums. We even spilt up one day. It was sooo easy to have one of the girls in a single stroller. How life would be so different!

Sylvia

Just a cute one of Sylvia in the car taken by Uncle Gage this weekend. More on that visit later.
