 Oh

 My

Heavens.

I could just eat these two up every day.

Cliff Notes

 The following is a collection of pictures that make up a cliff notes version of what my blog should include over the past few months. Actually, it's not even a good cliff notes version. Maybe cliff notes of what the cliff notes should be?

 I adore this photo. {December}

 Picking up her sister's love of reading. {January}

 We still do Learning Time, and Bryn is still quite the star student. She mastered preschool curriculum, so we've moved on to re-learning it all in Spanish. She is picking it up muy bueno. However, there are times like this when I step away for a moment and come back to be reminded that she is, in fact, a two-year-old. :) {Jan}

 Grandma, Aunt Courtney, and Aunt Kari came up for a weekend while my mom made curtains for the girls' room. Kari and Bryn had fun playing together. {Jan}

 Park weather in February! Thank you, CA.

 My 29th birthday! Some people dread birthdays, or like to pretend that after a certain age they don't exist anymore. Not me. I LOVE birthdays! I usually try to lay claim to an entire "birth-week" of celebrating, i.e. "My birthday is this week, so you should probably do the dishes tonight." :)

 Gotta love Pat the Bunny. So classic.

 Trying on Sis's rain boots.

 These two seriously adore each other.

 Bryn rockin' some architecture with her foam blocks.

 For the past few weeks I've been taking tons of pictures of Bryn. She turns 3 next week, and I think I've been trying to capture her 2-year-old self as much as possible.

 She wanted to do a "beautiful" pose. This is the epitome of elegance in her mind's eye. :)

 My darling girl. I've been asking her to please stay 2-years-old because I don't want her to grow bigger. She tells me, "Sorry, Mommy. I will turn 3 on my birthday, and then I will be humongous."

 We have a garden this year. Justin does most of the work, but I plan to do most of the eating. When he told me how long it would be before our first harvest, I may or or may not have cursed. Grow, grow, grow!

 Bryn has helped with every step from prep to planting.
