Sorry... it's been a long time since my last post. I've been awful with updating this blog. Amelia is growing like no tomorrow. Elaina is a spit-fire. I'll have to update y'all later, but I wanted to share this video.
We had a great weekend celebrating Elaina's 2nd Birthday. This birthday's theme (ugh!): Caillou. He's the bald headed Canadian with the whiney voice. Nevertheless, Elaina LOVED the birthday festivities.
Here are a few pictures:

| What's this?? A sandbox! |
 |
| It's more fun to play in the tissue paper! |
Back in March... yes, March, we took the girls to the Carnival at the local high school. The carnival was in the parking lot and the girls had fun.

| Amelia was scared, but you wouldn't know it in this picture. |
Amelia got golf clubs for her birthday and this past weekend, Daddy took her to the driving range at the local golf course to break in her new set of clubs. :)
 |
| She looks the part! |
 |
| She got some distance with her driver. |
 |
| Hole in one! |
This past Fourth, we went to a neighbor's house for a party. It was very nice. Good food, good friends and good fireworks! Amelia and Elaina loved playing in the pool and slip and slide. And then in the evening they got to play with sparklers and watch Daddy set off smoke bombs.

| Waiting for the fireworks to begin. |

 |
| Whoa! |
 |
| Mommy & Elaina having fun with the sparkler |
 |
| She got really good with the sparklers and had fun with them. |
Here are some photos of Amelia's 4th birthday party. We had it at the Portland Children's Museum. It was go, go, go once we got there. A little party for an hour and a half in a room, followed by 2 1/2 hours of play in the hands-on museum. Thank you to everyone who made it!
