Our Budding Artist

Sophie loves to draw and brings pictures home from school almost every day. Today, she brought home two pictures that I thought were too sweet not to share:

Guest Appearance

While traveling for Christmas, Sophie got to visit with her friends Sophia and Eliza (see how much fun they had?):

We even made a guest appearance on their blog! Check us out here: http://elizasophia.blogspot.com/2009/12/other-sophia.html

Helena is 5 months old!

Helena turned five months old last week and we've had an exciting development this month! But first, a new picture of the girls together:


And now for our good news: Helena got her first tooth today! I know it's almost impossible to see the tiny bit of tooth sticking through the gum, but I promise it's there (bottom, right center):


From the way her gums feel, I think she's going to have many more teeth joining them in the near future.

Merry Christmas!

In nine days we traveled through four states and one blizzard, but it was worth it to spend the holidays with our family and friends. Sophia and Helena had a great time seeing everyone, but we were definitely glad to get home after all the traveling. They were especially excited to see that Santa visited our house while we were gone:

Sophia was so happy to finally get her very own garbage truck and she had a lot of fun putting it together:

Helena might not look that excited about her Jungle Playground, but she warmed up to it once we got it out of the box:

Although Sophia loved her garbage truck, her favorite gift this year was definitely the Snuggie her aunt sent (she longed for that Snuggie for months!):

And Helena received this darling little bracelet:

The girls must have been really good this year!
