Just like her big sisters, Karis is crazy about her water. She manages her sippy cup on her own, and is very determined to drink lots of water. The other day she crawled across the room, reached into the diaper bag, pulled out her sippy cup and started chugging it back. Our girls take their water intake very seriously!

Juliette has learned a new skill: smiling for pictures without scrunching up her entire face! (sometimes)

Karis loves to be included in the routines of her big sisters. 

Karis Stands!

Karis can stand on her own! She started doing this the day after Dadda came home from Guatemala. Please ignore the streakers in the background of this video. It's much harder to get quality videos of our 3rd child.

Easter Egg Hunt

Here is some footage from our Easter egg hunt.

Mr & Mrs Mallard

We have 2 ducks living in our neighborhood. They often come to our driveway after we finish eating dinner (they know where to find bread!) The girls have named them "Mr and Mrs Mallard" after one of their favorite books: "Make Way for Ducklings".

Vancouver Zoo

While Dadda was still on break, we visited the zoo. 

The girls were fascinated by the peacocks. They loved it when one of the male's displayed his extravagant eye-spotted tail. 

This white peacock enjoyed seeing her reflection in the coke machine. 

Goodbye Friends!

On Wednesday we officially said goodbye to our friends who are moving overseas.

The girls loved taking the skytrain to the airport.

But weren't as thrilled about saying goodbye to their playmates.

On the way home we sat in the front of the skytrain and the girls took turns driving. I remember doing this with my brother at the Seattle airport when we were little.

Campbell Valley

The weather last week was beautiful. We took full advantage (once Dadda was feeling better), and spent a lot of time outside. I love having picnics with our family.
