It's been a while since we've really shared much about the kids and what they are up to.
Ava is awesome. Her sparkly blue eyes, round face and smiling mouth full of teeth are impossible not to laugh with. She's moving from a sweet, calm, cooperative toddler toward an independent and defiant 2 year old. But she's so darn cute that it's really hard not to just snuggle her up, give in to her every demand, and smile back.
Rachel is growing up! She's so smart and funny. She's learning all about healthy food and composting and math and early reading skills at school. She's an empathetic friend who is developing closer relationships to several key classmates.

To watch their sibling relationship develop is interesting. They say good night and hug and kiss each other. They watch for each other and like to know where the other one is. They play 'together' but argue about who possesses what and get frustrated having to share at all.
Highlights having included:
- Rachel's preschool fashion show, for which Rachel decided to be a monster
- Ava learning to say more words and phrases
- Playing in the snow
- Playing with bubble wrap
- Making forts and playing under blankets
- Playing in the garage
- Working together to do chores, like unload the dishwasher
- Sledding
- Rachel, still trying to ride her Strider bike, even though she's too big and it's too snowy
