The Girls have been very busy over the past few weeks. Visits to the park and to Great Nonnie Lo, a trip to Florida, and of course Christmas. C's latest delight is constant walking with the aid of one's finger. V is still on the loose and the more slack you give her to explore, the more she takes. Both have developed a recent fascination with dogs. Both quickly learned to love beach life in Florida, despite a jelly-fish sting incident w/ Victoria (she recovered with Godspeed). Christmas was great and the Girls are surely going to enjoy their new toys. Here are some recent pics.

| Don't worry Nonnie Lo, she does this to us too! |
 |
| A rare moment of Victoria not removing the barette in her hair. |
 |
| Caroline and her little turtle claws. |
 |
| There are more and more moments of the Girls playing with each other, which is great for Mom & Dad to see. |
 |
| They love the box car, but it requires a lot of work from Dad. |
 |
| Playing at the park in FL in December! |
 |
| Both Girls like going down the slide, but you never know if they will end up head or feet first. |
 |
| Back at the park in Chicago- chilly, but sunny! |
 |
| The Girls love to explore the fridge- this was on vacation. |
 |
| Nothing like milk and a view of the ocean for breakfast. |
 |
| Beach day, every day. |
 |
| V was a bit unsure of the sand and first, but quickly warmed up to the playa! |
 |
| Caroline and her cousin Dominic at another fridge. |
 |
| Book time w/ Mama. |
 |
| The Girls loved the al fresco dining on our balcony. |
 |
| Woof, woof. Victoria now gets very excited when she sees dogs. |
 |
| A moment like this is usually followed by C attacking V. |
 |
| V awoke from her afternoon nap in an almost comatose state and proceeded to lounge in Dad's lap on the balcony for 1/2 hour. It doesn't get much better than this as a Dad! |
 |
| V loved climbing and sliding down a small sand hill at the beach. |
 |
| Caroline absolutely loved to walk in the water and splash the water. |
 |
| Dad and the Girls. |
 |
| Christmas Eve opening some of the first of the Girls' gifts. |
 |
| Cousin Evelyn is very excited after opening her tent! |
 |
| Whatch you talking about Dad?! |
 |
| Auntie Kristin bought the Girls a Princess tent which they will certainly enjoy!h |
 |
| C and V will be forever indebted to Aunt Carol and Uncle Tom for this state-of-the art wagon. The Girls' one experience in the wagon was at the Pumpkin Patch this Fall and they loved it. |
 |
| V simply loves books. She explored Pop's office and pulled out one of Koontz's thrillers! |
 |
| C has found herself w/ this face more than a few times. She has definitely figured out how to get Mom and Dad to agree with her demands! |
