Zzzzzzzz...... We are off to nap, but before we do, here's what we have been up to this week.

Eating mango....(Marigny)

Eating mango in the boppy....(Lucy)

Coloring. coloring, coloring, we just love to color!

In the afternoons, we like looking out the window and watching for Dada to get home from work....

Then more coloring......(Marigny)

And even more coloring.....(Lucy)

Have a great weekend! xoxo Marigny & Lucy

Wow, you would not believe what an exciting week we just had! It all started with an airplane ride, our first ever!

We flew all the way to...........can you guess?

Here's another hint......

YES! Washington D.C. where our Nana, Grandad and Uncle Jonathan live. There is an amazing zoo there......

With lots of lovely creatures.....

And lots of lovable creatures.....awwwwww........

It was hard to decide where to go and what to do. We decided to check out the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum....

Can you spot us hanging out with our new friend T-Rex?

We were a little unsure about this fellow but Nana and Dada assured us that this Dingo wouldn't eat us babies.....

The best part about the Smithsonian was that they served broccoli!! We just love broccoli.

A shot of us with our Mama....

Another reason we were in D.C. was to attend Uncle Farmer's wedding. Congratulations Uncle Farmer and Auntie Melissa!

The whole family got dressed up for the occasion.....

All kinds of folks were in town for that wedding, including Meredith and her Mama, Kelley.......

And Naomi and her Dada, Tommy.....

And Carolann.....

And Jide.....

Who could forget or morning Jazzercise class with Grandad?!!

We saw a Gator at the National Aquarium....

And lots of fish. Uncle Jonathan did a great job holding us up to the tanks.

Nana bought us a new sticker book from the aquarium, a Nemo sticker book. It's our new favorite. Uncle Jonathan read some pages to us.

Alas, our week in D.C. had to end so we waited for our plane to come pick us up.....

And we waited some more, Grandad amused us while we waited....

Thank you Nana, Grandad and Uncle J (that's what we call him now) for a great week!
Dada, Lucy, Mama and Marigny

Ugh, we are the April Fools! Mama keeps saying, "If we were meant to live here, we would be covered with a lot more hair.". Dada is in the clear but the rest of us are not so lucky.

The hair we do have can be styled many beautiful ways as you can see here.
Marigny

We will cope by licking beaters until Spring is finally here.
Lucy & Marigny

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Grandma,
Happy Birthday to you!

Marigny & Lucy

Have a wonderful Birthday and make sure to eat plenty of chocolate, we know we will!
xoxo Mae-mae and Lulu

Sigh....this is what we woke up to this morning. Happy St. Patrick's Day! What do you do when the world has got you by the diaper?

Retail therapy!! We had Mama chauffeur us to the store and we got new shoes! And balloons.

Don't say we didn't do our part to boost the economy! Later, we've got some playing to do now. xo Marigny (pink shoes) and Lucy (red shoes)

Say "Cheese!"
