Ostriches

Snapdragon's preschool class went to an Ostrich Ranch in Tehachapi today. She had fun playing with the eggs (hollow of course), but didn't want to pet the baby ostrich.

Apple and Raspberry Picking

We made our annual treck to Tehachapi today to pick apples and raspberries. We were very excited to share this family tradition with Snapdragon for the first time. She loved riding in the wagon and collecting apples in her basket. She also enjoyed mine and Buttercup's favorite part, eating raspberries right from the vine! There is nothing better! It was a great family day.

9 Months Ago!

We became a family of four 9 months ago yesterday. In some ways it feels like yesterday, and in some ways it feels like Snapdragon has always been with us. We are so proud of both of our beautiful daughters. Buttercup is so sweet with her baby sister and Snapdragon just adores her. We can't believe how well adjusted Snapdragon has become. She is funny, lovable and stubborn! She knows what she wants! She is talking constantly now and repeating everything we say. Everytime we light the candle on the dinner table she sings "Happy Birthday" and wiggles her little bottom. Yesterday, she even said "sghetti" when we were eating spaghetti for dinner. We are blessed to have the gift of our daughters!

19 Months Old!

At The Library

Buttercup read to Snapdragon at our visit to the library today. Buttercup really enjoys being the big sister. It is wonderful watching her spend time with her baby sis!
