How much do I love thee?

Let me count the ram! Yes, as a very special surprise, Francis bough new ram for the computer, and had it installed tonight! Woohoo! Photoshop, pictures... here I come!

Two girls, one chair

What happens in a photo shoot...

It starts innocent... serious...

... then Emma gets up to...

... sit on her sister's lap

hilarious? scary?

.. and then away she goes!

Covered bridges, clear ground

Getting desperate to get outside, we found some of the only clear ground in Grand Rapids a couple of weeks ago - a perfect opportunity to practice some of those walking skills.

Not impressed... and mama laughs

The past few days have been sunny and warm - a rarity in Michigan in March. This means lots of walking outside. Emma loves it - enjoying the uneven terrain. Sammi, however, still tends to be unsteady on level ground. Outside? Forgetaboutit!

She did cheer up considerably once the camera came out... definately a favorite! (holding her in one arm while taking a picture with the other:)
