It's been a loooong time!

Best of April

My girls! 

 Had to get a picture of the sweet noose I made for a play my students put on
and, of course, Asha wanted in on the action

 De tal palo, tal astilla

 Asha was very proud to be sporting her first bigote

Daddy's first attempt at a ponytail (not bad, right?!)

 Our little community playground is a favorite destination.
She can just hold herself up like that forever

 One of Asha's favorite places in the world: the Howingtons. Whether snuggled in a blanket, perched on Julie's lap, or tanking another box of chocolate milk, Julie-Cy's is it.

Best of March (Happy Birthday, Asha!)

Emily made both of these outfits with a friend so Asha could celebrate her day in style

Exploring a little daffodil (her birth flower) 

Rolling with one of her best friends (and neighbor), Marissa,

whose birthday is two weeks before Asha's

Gotta start 'em young!

Her main gift was a play kitchen we scored off of Craigslist

Beauty and the Beauty

One of her favorite gifts was the book, Every Little Thing (based on "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley), along with a doll of the main character from One Love. Happy to see our Bob Marley-themed kids book collection expanding (Thank you, Aus)

 Kickin' it on the hammock with her daddy!

Our thanks to the Howingtons for hosting Asha's party (again!)

Proud to be 2!
