Too funny not to post

Eloise is into Jasmine, Aladdin, and the song 'A Whole New World' lately. She and her Daddy sing it every night before bed time and even though I've heard it about a thousand times now, I still laugh each night as I hear them singing through the monitor. Apparently, Eloise is taking after me in the singing department instead of Alan...too bad!

So Kissable!

Concert in the Park

Every month we meet my family

for a free outdoor concert. We just had the first one of the summer and my mom made a wonderful Cinqo de Mayo feast. We certainly ate, drank and were merry!

Easter

 Family o' five! P.S. Laurel is wearing my baptism dress from way back when.

 Margot and Daddy making Easter morning bunny cakes

 Eloise rode a pony for the first time at an egg hunt/neighborhood party. She absolutely loved it and told everyone she met for the next week about how brave she was to ride the pony.

Laurel 3 months

Ladies, all the ladies

Margot climbed up onto the couch to lay beside Laurel and then Laurel turned her head and started rooting around on Margot's skirt. Margot thought it was so hysterical that Laurel wanted to "eat her skirt" and proceeded to feed it to her.

Despite the 1000 times that Alan and I have tried to teach Margot to ONLY color on paper.....we just cannot harness her creative expressions!

Some sisterly love

Laurel started smiling and it's so fun, she especially loves tongue clicking sounds!

This peanut is not actually such a peanut....in the 96th percentile for height and wearing clothes that Eloise wore at 5 months!

My preschool picture

My mom came across this picture of me at 3 or 4 years old and brought it over recently. I asked Eloise who it was....

E: I don't know

Me: Well, who does it look like?

E: It kind of looks like me.....

Me: Yep

E: but I think it is you, Mom
