Catching up
Sorry for not posting for 9 months! Here's a quick overview of the last year. It's a little sparse, but we promise to be better in the future. So here's our last year in reverse...
Lydia's First Birthday: we celebrated with a backpacking trip to 20 Lakes Basin (the kids hiked 5 miles!) and some mini-cupcakes.
Swim Lessons
Beatrice dressed herself.
When Sara went on vacation to Seattle, Jed took the kids camping and fishing. In the first picture you can see the big girls helping to keep Lydia on the tarp so she won't eat rocks.
Obligatory kid eating spaghetti picture
This summer Jed took the big girls to Indiana to visit the Dean family while Sara took Lydia home to Long Beach to see the Ocon family.
Summer Soccer Camp
A hike to Bald Mountain in Sonoma.
Fruit picking with Jerel and Chana
Obligatory 'baby in the sink' photo.
In May, Sara took Esther to see a local production of The Sound of Music. Her favorite part was the cupcake at intermission.
Rainbow cupcakes for Beatrice's 3rd birthday. She chose the pink one.
Here are some pictures from Bea's birthday backpacking trip. The whole family hiked about 3 miles to Coast camp in Point Reyes Nat'l Seashore.
Way to go Lydia! Compare.
Way to go Bea!
Lydia's first solid food in February.
Beatrice's first day of preschool in January.
Christmas Morning. The girls are wearing their favorite presents: "spinning skirts" from Aunt Rachel and Uncle Jared. Lydia seems frightened to be propped up by her sisters.
Of course only live action will do the spinning skirts justice.
Christmas Pageant. The big girls were shepherds.
That's Lydia as Baby Jesus.
Esther's 4th and Jed's 32nd Birthday.
Birthday cupcakes. This is the least weird face Bea made in these pictures.
Thanksgiving--turkey sandwich and pumpkin pie picnic
The week before Thanksgiving E and B picked one thing they were thankful for and one thing they were going to "give" each day. Enlarge to read the madness.
