Sisterly love

These pictures says it all.....best friends forever.

XOXOXOXOXO

Despite a continuous string of ear infections, Zoe doesn't let anything interfere with trying to catch up with her big sister. Here she spends probably 15-20 minutes continuously somersaulting, obviously inspired by her sister's mad gymnastics skills. She had such a blast, as did we watching her tumble again and again.

When I take her to Hannah's class at MegaGym up in San Rafael, I spend the 45 minutes trying to distract her and keep her from storming the gymnastics floor. She really cannot wait to get up there! Here she is, surrounded by all the big girls getting their stamps after class, on April 3rd.

Thanks Coach Trevor!

Hannah's Increasingly Prolific

Since the beginning of the year, Hannah has become more and more focused on her artwork. Nearly every day, she spends a significant chunk of time focused on perfecting her drawing and writing skills, creating people, flowers, big smiley faces with braces, and words. The collage below is a small selection of the kinds of drawings she was most heavily focused on creating in January and February (and many more are stashed in rolls around our very disorganized house). She has since moved onto to doing her "work" in a big spiral bound notebook that I finally relinquished to her (she definitely needed it more than I did!). It was probably one of those 350 page notebooks that I'd used for a couple dozen To Do lists. Over March, she filled every single remaining page with more drawings, and even some notes regarding playdates and such to friends at school. I think it makes a strong case against the "death of paper" due to technology advances. And I'm excited about a return to real letter writing! That said, she does also love making rainbow boxes and faces on daddy's iPad with Little Fingers...
