Beach Days

Jersey girls love the Shore!

Lighthouses

These are some lighthouses we saw on Lake Michigan ... our mom really likes to visit lighthouses.

Happy 4th

We're were in Indiana enjoying the 4th with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jerry. Grandpa bought some sparklers for us and our cousins!

I used a torch to light the sparklers.

Tea Shop

Have you been to this tea shop? If you have some time to kill, come by for a while!!

Favorite Songs

I love Rufus Wainwright! This is my favorite song. I look like the girl in the video.

Abraham Lincoln

I wanted to learn more about Abraham Lincoln when we went to Washington DC. This is a picture of the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. I loved it.

Did you ever know that Abraham Lincoln loved books? He loved books! I think he read them every day. I like books too, just like Abraham Lincoln.

He got shot at a theatre. They put him on a bed but he did not fit. He was too tall. So they had to put him in bed slanty. This is a picture of the bed where he laid down. It is across the street from the theatre.

Spring Break -- Washington!

For Spring Break, we all went to Washington DC. We rode on the subway (the metro) every day.

We went to the Zoo and saw these sea lions yelling at each other and playing in the water.

We saw this ALOT ... it's called the Washington Monument. We walked all around and saw other monuments with a tour guide. Hanna kept calling it a "Mommy-mint".

This is outside the American Indian Museum. It was really beautiful inside.

Ice-sylvania ... the best imaginary skating rink ever!

Here is a commercial my friends made up ... it's not a real place.

Snow Day

We had a snow day. We all got to stay home from school and work. Papa wanted the paper but it was buried under the snow. So, we started the first Bare-Foot Snow Olympics.

Hanna tried first.

I got a little bit farther.

But no newspaper. Mama had to dig it out later with the shovel. She wore boots.

Polar Bear Plunge

I love the beach. So does my friend Lauren.


We love the beach so much we went swimming in the WINTER!!!

My mom said the water was only 35 degrees and it felt like my legs were dissolving when I first went in the water. I went in twice.

Everyone else at the beach thought we were crazy and brave.


We had alot of fun but my soccer coach said I'm not allowed to complain about being cold at practice anymore!

Now I am 8

Today was my birthday and now I am 8.



I had an angel food cake and lots of presents.



My Aunt Sarah is taking me to the Philadelphia Art Museum to see some paintings. I want to be an artist when I grow up.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Cereal!

Every Christmas we get 1,000,109 boxes of cereal in our stockings from our mom.


Heather still has her Christmas cereal but I ate all of mine.

Bathrobes

For Christmas we got robes. I (Heather) like to sleep in mine every night.

I think we look cool in our bathrobes.

Elmo

Check out our video ...

Tree Lights

Ballet

This is my ballet class. We had a show for all the parents.


I like my pink ballet slippers and I really like to wear my tap shoes, too.

My teacher lets us dance to the Sugar Plum fairies with bouquets of flowers.

I like my ballet class.

Leaves

What's better than playing in the leaves?

Playing in the leaves on a trampoline!!!

Birthday

Wow - that's alot of fire! How old is Aunt Sarah?

Halloween treats

Our mom made some cool Halloween treats. She read about them here and here. These are our treats. Our mom made the legs but we stuck them in and did the faces. We ate alot of spider cakes!

We had lots of leftover candycorn, so she made this sunflower cake too.

Halloween

First we were from the Wizard of Oz ... Dorothy & Glinda the Good Witch

Then we were from Little House on the Prairie ... Laura & Mary

Either way, there was candy!
