 Jolie practicing her downward dog.  She is better at it than I am.

 We had a picnic on the carpet the morning it was torn out.  M and L couldn't believe I was letting them eat on it- especially syrup!

 Dance party

These are the last photos of our tile and carpet.  Last week we had wood floors installed on the first floor.  They turned out beautiful.  The girls and I went and stayed at my parents' while they worked on the house.

Easter morning was so much fun.  It is so much more exciting with kids!  The girls were up at 7:00 (which lately is like them sleeping in a little), and dying to see if the Easter Bunny had come.  Sure enough he did.  He brought the girls Sing-a-majigs, pjs, jump ropes, putty, chocolate bunnies, and more.  Jolie got lots of yummy baby food, a new sippy cup, Puffs, and bath wash and lotion.  It was a good haul.  They played around until breakfast was ready, then everyone headed to church.
 Ready to hunt- or rather pick up...just look behind them!








 A bus just like Grandma P's!  Lena insisted on honking the horn.  And she did.  Twice.

The New Albany Egg Hunt was loads of fun- tons of eggs, firetrucks, buses, bounce house, face painting, balloons, everything!  We spent about two hours there picking things up, climbing around, and jumping up and down.  Then we headed to McDonald's for a happy meal before nap time.


Maddie and Lena finally outgrew their tricycles.  It was a little gut wrenching to see their first bikes go, but their knees were at their ears when they were pedaling.  They both were so top-heavy on the bike that they kept tipping over, so we decided it was time to move on.  They each picked out their new bikes (of course they chose the exact same one), and they are warming up to them.  Lena took a little spill on hers the second day we had them, so they have both been a bit timid.  M and L had  a good ride this last weekend while my parents were here.  We were pretty impressed how quickly they are catching on.
