Spring in January

We’ve been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather this past week, and even went to the park!  It resulted in muddy shoes and pants, but the girls had a really great time exploring.

Found you!

Running to save the mermaids from the pond

You can carry me now

Evie's loves to do whatever Maggie is doing:

                                  

Evie has a little bug right now, but is still her playful self with a little more cuddling.  She is getting a lot better with her pronunciation of words.  This week “milk” and “Maggie” were her new understandable words.  She talks in sentences all the time, we just have no idea what she is saying.

My stylish girl

This past weekend Grandpa came over to set up our small aquarium and he picked out a couple guppies and tetra fish with Maggie.  Maggie has been feeding them every night and both girls really like the “fishys”.  Later in the week, we found one of the guppies dead, and ironically the other guppy had given birth to about 10 teeny-tiny fish.  We decided to let Maggie see the dead fish and sat down to explain what dying means.  Maggie is such a compassionate little girl, and was really upset for a while, lots of tears and lots of questions.  She was so concerned about her fishy being ok, and promised that she would dream about “Maui” to help him feel better, and she prayed that Jesus would take care of him.  My heart broke about 10 times, but I think we successfully made it through our first discussion of the topic!

The girls continue to be obsessed with the karaoke machine.  They both really enjoy singing into the microphone (which often leads to lectures on sharing).  It will keep them entertained for 30 minutes easily!  Right now we are singing all the songs from the new Disney movie Moana (which are very bearable!).  Here's Maggie singing the theme song with Evie on back-up vocals:


Always dancing

We have a new rule about not choking your sister

Aunt Amy and Uncle Rex took Maggie and Will to see Moana this weekend.  Maggie had a really great time with Will, and then we all went out for lunch at McDonald's afterward - basically the best day ever for Maggie!

Ready for the movie!

"Up here, Maggie!"
