These are the days....

Barretts!  Harlow has started wearing barretts and it's SO cute!  So far, she doesn't seem to mind them.

The girls like to snuggle together in our bed in the mornings.  Here they are with their digi's.  Love!

Olivia continues to find new ways to mix and match her outfits!

Big blue eyes has arrived...Harlow is following in her sister's footsteps with some beautiful eyes!

Sisters!  Love!  Sisters!  Love!  Sisters!  Love!!!!!

Here is Harlow with our new friend, baby Maya!  Harlow is the BIG girl!

Mother's Day 2012 - Fun and Family

We had a terrific mother's day, starting out with some baking (Olivia loves to mix up her concotions and bake them up for treats!)

We moved on to lots and lots of pictures...look at these beautiful girls...

Our obligatory group shot (great use of the new raised garden beds!)...

More pictures...can you tell who the ham is??...

Hamming continues....

And the day ended with lots of swinging and running!

And nothing beats just plain out looking cute...

Here's what Olivia decided to Wear to the Park Today...

What girl doesn't look good in a tie-dyed dress, yoga pants, an apron, mardi gras beads, shades, and a great hat?!?!  Olivia knows how to put it to-get-her!

She brought her bike along too, for some spins!

Her laughter is contagious!  She's getting better at riding, but has a ways to go before she's hopping the curb, or getting the handle bars in the right direction.  But if you listen closely, she will explain to you the science of "orange poop bags".



Olivia helped dress Harlow too...ha!  Isn't she the cutest little sugar bug!

Harlow's First Hike!

The weather is great and we took Harlow out on the trails.  The girls did great, O in Daddy'd backpack and Harlow in the carrier on Mommy.  O has a great time just hangin' in the backpack.

But an even better time on Daddy's strong back!

Here is our hiking crew!  Olivia chose a dress and tights for the hike...with keens, perfect!

Here's Harlow after the hike...with a new 'do.  She was digging it!

If Ballet Doesn't Pan Out, B-Ball is a Great Second!

Daddy played in the annual teacher/student basketball game O thought it was terrific and couldn't wait to get in on the fun.  She had a great time playing on the court with Daddy and his pals. 

As you can see in the video, her aim is still off, but she has potential.  She runs fast at least!

Tu-Tu's, Tusks, and 3 Year Olds in Ballet

Miss Olivia Snow has started taking ballet!!!  And she loves it.  We find this video pretty funny...it is everything that 3 year old's "do" in ballet - run around like crazy, looking very pretty, laughing a lot, and hanging on the bars...adorable!

Eleven 3 year olds and Miss Jen does a WONDERFUL job keeping them all busy dancing!

After ballet class, we play outside on the whooly mammoth, the big snakes, mice, and dinosaurs!  This is O's favoriate.

Keeneland Races, Lexington KY 2012

Harlow, Grandma, and Mommy all went to Kentucky last week.  Mommy spoke at the Public Health Systems and Services Research Conference.  When she was done, the crew headed to the races!  Grandma found the most spectacular blue hat!  What a beauty!

Here we are, with Harlow in her wide brimmed white hat - another beauty!  The racetrack was gorgeous and the track was hot!  Mommy won $.40!

Mommy brought a few of her students with her to the conference (her postdoc and three PhD students - they all did great presenting their research!).
