Swimming Beauties

The girls started taking swim classes this week. Here are a couple shots. They both liked the class a lot with Rachel taking suggestions much better than Lauren.

The Six Girl Cousins

We have six girls in the family all about the same age.
Here we are visiting in Sacramento at Fairytale Town.

What is this series?

Rachel was reciting some numbers at dinner tonight
3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100

Me: Hey do you know how to count by 10's now?
Rachel: Yes I just did.
Me: Then why did you say 3 and 5?
Rachel: I was counting by the numbers you can count to.
Me: What do you mean?
Rachel: You know you can count to 3 or 5 or 10 or all the other numbers.

All smiles

Egg Hunting at School

Egg hunting on a Saturday morning. Rachel spent most of her time looking for that one golden egg while Lauren went for volume requiring both her frog and an extra bag.

Sweet Moments

I love checking in on the girls sleeping right before I go to bed. They are so cute and look so content and happy while sleeping. I like looking at their expressions, noting their sometimes odd sometimes conventional sleeping positions, repositioning the covers, removing any toys or books that stayed in bed with them, turning off the touch lamps, all those quiet sweet moments. For awhile when putting them to bed was a battle, I didn't go in their rooms to check on them because I was afraid I would wake them up. But now I know that once they are fairly asleep, I can completely reposition them, step on a noisy toy, trip over a book, even pull their thumb out of their mouth and the most I will get is a sleepy glance before they go back to bed. I told them that I check on them at night. Now Rachel asks for a report of what she looked like the night before.
