Easter 2009
Yoli and the girls colored eggs on Easter Eve. They kept it simple, using regular food coloring, rubber bands, and crayons.
The eggs turned out beautifully, but the only problem was the girls wanted to eat them right away!
I am retro-dating this post, since the photos in it took place in the middle of April. Sorry for the long delay.
On the same day, Jadzia was practicing her letters. Yoli has been bringing home these tracing sheets, and Jadzia is doing very well with them. You can see how well her Bs are formed!

Puppy love
In this sequence, watch as the girls sit unknowingly on the neighbor's step. Quietly, a giant horse-dog approaches from behind ...
Ludi's on the move, while Jadzia and her friend Claire play further up the neighbor's yard.
Claire gives Ludi a helpful push.
Ludi's trying to take pictures (but she's pointing the camera the wrong way).
Jadzia the firefighter to the rescue!
Uh oh, thumb time.
The same little girl who was cowering in fear of Greta earlier, now has no trouble reaching out to her.

Baby ballet
Jadzia loves this video called Baby Ballet, which teaches kids how to do various ballet movements. She takes it fairly seriously. Her nanny recently purchased a genuine ballet outfit with slippers. Jadzia absolutely loves to put it on and dance.

Unhappy one minute ...
And then happy the next ...
These photos are from a trip to the Botanical Garden.
Pay no attention to the baby behind the curtain!
Yoli and Jadzia are putting together a flower arrangement. It actually has lasted quite a while and is still up on our mantle.
A whole lot of laying down
Yes, that's pretty much how one can summarize the life of a baby. If she's not being swung in someone's arms, then she is more than likely laying down on a bed or somewhere.
Despite the harness, Josie still gets some quality tummy time.
