SOCCER!

 This was the girls first year in soccer, and both Berlyn and Talullah absolutely loved it.  I think Talullah enjoyed it even more than slow pitch.  Both girls did so great on their team, although of course there were times where they might have been a bit distracted out on the field.   As much as this momma missed her warm and cozy Saturday mornings inside, it was so rewarding to go to their games every weekend and watch them grow in ability and confidence.

This trip was ALL Havanna's idea.  This little three year old had just been begging to go see the Golden Gate Bridge for weeks.  I don't know where she got it in her head, but she was ready to see the world.  For the very first time, we took the rode that drives up a hill just west of the bridge.  I can't believe after my dozens of time in this city that I'd never ventured that road before!  It was beautiful!
We made a quick trip of it, spending most of our time in the hotel swimming pool.  Really, isn't the hotel usually the kids most favorite part of any vacation?  They just love staying somewhere different.  So, my wild hearted Havanna, there it is.  The Golden Gate Bridge.  It seemed to have met all of her expectations.

Not crazy, just fun

Maybe we like the camera a little bit more than we should...

Little Artist

I sat the girls at the table for some paint time.  They LOVE to paint.  I guess because it's so messy.  If it can get you dirty, or destroy something, these girls just can't get enough of it.  They had paint, water, brushes, and.... Paper.  Can you guess what did not get used?  Berlyn yelled from the kitchen as I folded laundry in my room, "Mom!  Do NOT come in here.  We have a surprise for you!!!"  How can I get upset when they are A) being so independent B)  getting along so well?  Havanna sat like a champ for at least ten minutes while Berlyn created this masterpiece.  She actually spelled her own name backwards across her sisters forehead.  That's pure talent.
