I'm a big(er) girl now.

Even though I'm only two.
Last week I learned something new.

I climbed out of my crib at nap time one day.
Cause I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to play!

This worried mom and dad I think.
I don't know why they raised a stink.

They're the ones who paid for gymnastics.
I can't help it if I'm just fantastic.

Also, Claire had a big bed before I came to be.
And she say's I'm big enough now see...

So off to IKEA we went.
A full day of shopping we spent.

Loaded up the minivan with boxes did we.
A big girl bed for me!!

Claire helped put it together.
I think she doest like to hammer.

I couldn't wait to try my new bed out.
Even though it does make mommy pout.

There's no more baby crib you see.
But that's just fine by me!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Mom decided to try a little photo shoot at home so we could wear our fancy dresses. Here are some of our favorite pictures - enjoy!

Sending you all lots of hugs and kisses!
Claire & Sarah

Friends and Flowers!

We were all craving a little spring so today we met up with our friends Jonas and Lily at the Conservatory.

We had to feed the fish!

It was so nice to run around without a coat and breathe some humid air! It did activate Mom's travel bug though!

Look we match! It was unintentional, Claire dressed herself while I dressed Sarah.

This was Sarah's first outing without the backup of a stroller. She usually would much rather ride and suck her thumb than walk, but I guess we are all craving a little spring. Today she was happy to follow Claire's lead.

If you have any doubt's about what Mom would like for Valentine's - she said this would be a good hint. We had a great time with our friends - see you all again soon!

Winter Fun

Oh Baby it's cold outside and we love it! Must be the Canadian blood eh? We had a little snow so Dad set up a little slide for us to enjoy.

We made a cool snowman named 'candy cane'

And had a snowball fight!

We had no coal, so we used olives for eyes and a mouth. Yummy!

I love him!

Below are a few videos of our sliding adventures. Maybe the parents will finally get around to building us a playcenter soon!

Obama!

Give me an O!

We recently had a celebration at our house. President Obama took office and mom decided we should watch and learn a little about this historic day.

In the morning we made 'Bye Bye Bush' muffins, then we watched the ceremony. Two thumbs up from me!

Snowboarding 101

It was a great winter day today so when playing outside Dad decided to let us try his snowboard. We are naturals and loved it immediately.

We each took turns gliding down the front yard slope and even did it with no hands.

Claire had her balance down and even discovered that by rocking back and forth she could make herself move.

Yipee....Can I have my own board dad?

Just my size. There were tears when we had to go in so Dad promised us more snowboard lessons soon.

Sarah's First Gymnastics Class

After months of watching my sister at gymnastics class it is finally my turn! I was so excited for my first class - it's all about me!

I wasn't afraid to do anything - not even the big beam. Just walked right across.

Little beams, no problem.

I can hope and jump like a pro. Miss Terry, my teacher said she has never seen a two year old walk up the wall to a handstand position like me before!

Ta-Da! I am exhausted, but can't wait until next week's class!
