{Most of January}

This little lady is learning how to follow Lego directions, and she's doing great!

I got a haircut! About 5-6 inches off the back. It doesn't look too much different from the front because of the layers I had. I love it - shorter, easier, fresh.

and it makes me look so good.

While I was at a baby shower Saturday morning, the girls helped dad tear down their cardboard box fort and...

...and burn it!

And of course, smores!

Evette loves to sit on her little stool like a desk - I love it.

Evette went to work with Sean this month, too!

A couple weekends ago, during the 3 day weekend, we did some painting. We repainted our bedroom, the office, and our hallway. The office and our bedroom were both sad beige colors, and the hallway was off-white with some terrible discoloration. 

It was a full weekend long project. The girls were patient and good. They helped a little bit here and there, watched lots of movies, and played so we could work. 

We painted our bedroom a light green - and it turned out lovely! It has lightened up the whole room and makes it just so peaceful and lovely!

The office we painted a slate gray and I'll get some pictures of that once I get all the pics back up. The hallway we painted a clean white, and it looks so sleek now.

Rey Hair!!!

Evette and I had a little Mommy/Daughter date! Sushi - of course. It was so much fun to just sit and chat with her about life. 

Last week I had a meeting up in the city for work, so we rode the train up with Daddy. The girls spent a few hours with Sean at work while I had my meeting and then we all had lunch together. The girls were thrilled, especially Miriam, who doesn't usually get to go to work with Daddy.

Lately, the girls have been playing together every morning beautifully. They play babies, and tea parties, and sushi dates, and doctors, it's adorable. They are the best little friends and now that Miriam is learning more words every day and is able to communicate better, their play has just become more fun!

Evette went with Sean to Lego club this month - it's this awesome program where kids can go an hour before the store opens and they have a little something for the kids to build, then they can get a little box of legos and they all build something else and have a little show and tell. They get to bring home their creations and their box of legos. So fun!

Both girls were sick last week - which was not super fun. But, it meant a lot of cuddles, so I didn't complain too loudly. 

Here are the girls playing hybernating bears...and I guess a peek at the office's new paint color.

The other day I realized I was missing the sand and waves and so we packed our stuff and headed to the ocean. It was glorious. It wasn't too cold, and we had a blast. We ran along the sand, chased the waves, built sand castles, collected crab remains, and just had a wonderful time.
