Winter & Spring 2011

This year has been pretty weird so far, what with me having to work six days a week until the beginning of April, and then my uncle George abruptly passing away just a couple weeks ago. But, we did manage to have some fun along the way. Here are some of the better memories of that time.

We bought a family pass to Fairytale Town so we could go whenever we wanted to:

We had a trip to Funderland in late February:

The girls learned a lot about the solar system and even drew a model of one in the back yard. This work was entirely unaided by any adults:

At Aunt Lynn's in Eugene, Aria got super big sisterly and offered to help Audrey get her pants on. It was an adorable moment:

Finally, on Mother's Day weekend, we planted our garden, with a lot of enthusiastic assistance from Aria and Tobin. Even Audrey planted a couple things:

And last but not least, I convinced the girls to pose together on the couch yesterday:
