Reading is important...

to everyone in this house:

Ruby the mountaineer

She would have gone all the way up if I hadn't stopped her.

Walking

I have the girls well trained to hold onto the stroller when they are walking beside it, so when I told them they didn't need to, I guess they still felt like they needed to hold onto something:Even better, is when they push the stroller for me:

Triking

We're still working on the concept. Ruby is doing fairly well at pedaling. Cora's feet are usually on the ground, scooting her along. We still haven't figured out steering at all.

We miss our friends. :(

My children know what cell phones are for

Taking pictures

"Smile!"

(They also like to show you the pictures they've taken.)

Texting:

And talking, of course:

They also know where to keep their phones when not in use:

If you don't have a pocket, just borrow your sister's:

P.S. Genny, please note that Ruby's hair is not fixed, probably not even combed. You may not be able to tell, but Cora's hair is missing the elastics at the end of her braids, so it's on it's way out, too. Just so you know my children don't always have well-groomed hair. :)

No catchy title,

I just love this picture.
