Happy Easter

We're only a week late!

We had a great Easter. Sabine dyed eggs:











We did our annual egg hunt with friends on Saturday:









Aspen snuggled with daddy while I took pictures. I imagine next year she'll be puttering around with the big girls!

Easter morning, the Easter Bunny delivered at our house:








(Hard to tell from this picture, but Sabine's new Lottie doll, whom she named Ella, has been a big hit.)

Then we got the girls dressed up in their Easter dresses and did a quick photo shoot. They melt my heart.









Then it was time to head up to Longmont, to Aunt Diane and Uncle Nat's house, for a BBQ and another egg hunt. Sabine wasn't interested in changing into more farm-appropriate clothes, so off we went, still dressed in an Easter dress.









Cousin E even got in on the egg hunt this year!













There was even some Easter soccer.



All in all, it was a great Easter!

Two Months Old

Aspen is two months old today, eight weeks on Monday.



We went to the doctor this morning for her two-month check up, and here are her stats:

Height: 22.5", which is 57th percentile
Weight: 10 lbs 8 oz, which is the 33 percentile
Head Circ: 15.25", which is the 70th percentile

So she's right on track. She also got her first set of vaccines, so we are spending a quiet afternoon in, recovering.

Sabine was a big help, very soothing to her sister after Aspen got her shots. I don't have a picture of Sabine from this week, she was sick earlier in the week so she stayed home from preschool yesterday, and we had a nice movie day. But here's a shot of our big girl from our professional photo shoot!

Smiles All Around

We're well into week 7, but these pictures are from the past two weeks, since I haven't gotten to update recently.









Here's kind of a random collection of pictures to show what's been happening in our world:

We got a lovely care package from a dear friend in Australia. Sabine adores her new book about the Land Down Under.



Aspen's gotten some good cuddles in with the whole family.



The weather has gotten nicer, and Sabine and her friends love to play outside after preschool.



More than anything, Sabine loves to snuggle her sister. She is super gentle, and continues to be a good help to us.





Nana Lin and Aunt Dani took us out to a special restaurant for brunch to celebrate mommy's birthday today. Sabine and Ethan got to stay home and play outside (in the snow!) with a babysitter, while Aspen joined us downtown. She was a model baby, sleeping through most of it, and making eyes at the tables around us when we picked her up so that we got lots of ooohs and ahhhhs.



And here's a video from a couple weeks ago, closer to week five, but I just had to document her little coos and grunts. I know I will miss those tiny sounds soon enough.
