Sweet peas

We're all still healthy (hooray!) and have been enjoying the gorgeous early summer weather. After a number of days of rain, we've had a string of beautiful days, sunny, clear and warm. And everything is SO green.

Lucy was so excited to dress the same as Clara. When I said that they were like twins, she said, "but we weren't in your tummy at the same time!".

We've enjoyed getting out to the beach. Thankfully Clara overcame her resistance to getting sand on her feet. Lucy's looking forward to taking swimming lessons in July.

They are getting much better at posing for pictures- this is one of my recent favorites.

Somewhere I have a picture of Lucy doing the exact same thing, around the same age!

My mom has been saying for awhile that Clara looks like me- I can really see it in this and the next picture.

Clara's really getting into looking at books. She loves finding babies in the pictures, and exclaims, "baby!".

We had a fun time celebrating Matt's birthday a few weeks ago. Lucy made clues for him to follow, to find his presents, which were two travel mugs, with pictures drawn by Lucy and Clara on them. We topped off the celebration with an amazing ice cream cake from our local ice cream shop.
