Spring 2010

Last weekend we took a walk in the UW arboretum because it was peak lilac blooming season and the weather was gorgeous. The kids had a blast exploring the different smells and being just goofy.

Here's J smelling the flowers:


Amazed at all the white flowers in the tree:



Jumping from every stoop they could find. F wasn't sure whether he was Superman or Spiderman.



F's discovered winking now...


There is something about this pic that I just love:



Joyful boy in the grass:


Taking a break by a tree.


Shall I dive or jump?


Poppa with the kids taking a break:


And me:



Our Montessori school had a diversity festival last weekend. J & F got to wear their outfits from Kazakhstan & Turkmenistan. They loved getting dressed up.



All previous years J's been too shy to get up on stage. But not this year! She was a natural performer. Here she is dressed in her Guatemalan outfit getting ready to perform.


J's last ballet class and end of year recital were today. She had a lot of fun and looked like a little dancer.

I liked this pic because I caught her reflection in the mirror:

Here she is preparing for her hat dance.


And then as Belle from Beauty & the Beast.


Look at this smile:
