A Month in Pictures
The girls are great, and we're all very happy that the weather has turned for the better. The girls spend most days outside on the playground, in their playhouse, in the garden, on the hammock, or just rolling around in the yard. Charlotte walks her walker up and down the street, though no independent steps yet. Julia is finishing her once-a-week school this week. She loves it (even though saying goodbye to Mom or Dad was tough for a few weeks). So much so that she names her dolls (or us) the names of her teachers and classmates when she is playing pretend.
All the way back to Easter:
And our happy girls, both inside and outside. Check out the new thumbnail on the right side of the screen too. The girls on the hammock with Julia is our neighbor Melissa.

Happy Opening Day
"Uncle" Marc came to visit last week and got the girls ready for opening day. Dad has lost the battle (note the girls' shirts) but at least he has not lost the war (thankfully they are not Yankees shirts)
Go Braves!

Much to report!
We have been remiss in updating the website, mostly because the henhouse is always busy! The girls have had a great month, both in big events and development.
Speaking of big events, cousin Michaela Elizabeth Vennell Roberts has arrived! She was born on March 25 after a marathon labor (Nicole is a TROOPER) and according to Nana and PopPop has the same Towne nose and chin as Charlotte. Kara can't wait until this weekend to see for herself.
Grandma and Grandpa Cooper made the northeastern rounds earlier in March and had a great couple of days with the girls.
The girls took a trip to Connecticut to A. see Nana and PopPop over spring break and B. get out of Aaron's hair so he could continue his tradition of painting at least two rooms in the house. Julia got her very first tricycle, which only took about an hour and one cut finger (not hers) to put together.
Charlotte changes everyday and is now cruising on furniture and climbing up the stairs. Her nine month check-up went well and she is still a skinny minny--now in the 16th %ile for weight. We find this to be very mysterious in that she eats all of us under the table at every meal. To wit, Aaron made pancakes last weekend and the final tally was Julia: 2; Charlotte: 16. That is not a typo.
Julia has started a once-weekly pre-school program through a local high school's Child Development elective. She is slowly adjusting to being away from home and loves going to the library with her buddy Jane to pick out a book. She loves to do things "all by mySELF" including getting dressed, giving herself a bath and helping put away dishes and the laundry. Her hourly rates are being read to and Elmo juice boxes.
The girls have a great time together and we love watching them figure each other out and hope they will always have this much fun.
