Mother's Day 2014

It was the twins' first Mother's Day, so Liz and I staged a photo shoot to capture a grandbaby photo for Nanny's gift. Nathaniel insisted on his paci and Charlotte wouldn't smile for the camera, but Eleanor was very cooperative.

LA Visit May 2014

We paid a visit to LA for a long weekend to spend some time with the family. Charlotte and her cousin Sarah had so much fun together, first at the children's museum, then at the pool, and finally at Abigail's first birthday party. Cousin love!

Easter 2014

Charlotte was pretty excited for Easter, with visions of jelly beans and bunnies and candy dancing in her head. We hosted a toddler egg hunt with a few friends, and she took right to the task of egg gathering, not to mention helping everyone with their candy consumption.

New cousins

Charlotte met her new cousins, Nathaniel Louis and Eleanor Adele this past weekend. She gave them a gift of her own baby clothes, and then made sure they both had an appropriate shmoo aka lovie. She was not into touching them quite yet, but a very exciting day nonetheless.

Visiting Daddy's Office

Charlotte came to visit Daddy at work this week. Not sure what she was expecting an office to be, but as far as offices go, it was pretty exciting. Chairs that spin, lots of tile samples to play with, desks made for drawing. 

Cookies

We had a ton of fun frosting and decorating (and of course eating) some holiday cookies!

Thanksgiving in LA

We had a sunny Thanksgiving in Playa del Rey. Bubba Linda outdid herself on tday dinner. Charlotte loved the beach and made a new friend- Sweetie the dog :) And here are some cute family photos from cousin Abigail's baby naming.
