June 2011 update

The summer of 2011 was the summer of the 13-year cicadas. There were millions of them. We all found them fascinating, in a gross sort of way. Evie was especially amazed by them and decided to adopt them as pets.






































































Emmy had fun with brownies.


















Eden and her junior girl scout troop members earned their bronze star awards.

 Sadly, Elise's friend, Lizzy, moved to Florida with her family. Elise had her over one last time for a play date.

  Lizzy will be greatly missed.

May 2011 update

We have a friend who is a member of the Bunraku Bay Japanese puppetry troupe. In May of 2011 they had a local performance to help raise funds for the victims of the tsunami. Our girls really enjoyed the entertainment.

 Elise and her close friend (practically her twin) named Lizzy, had a little picnic on the deck.










Apparently someone taught Elise how to "Walk Like an Egyptian."
