Giselle is growing up!

Giselle is 5 years and 4 months.
She can't wait to celebrate her 5 1/2 year birthday on July 19th. She wants a Piñata.

Neomie is growing... and growing... (9 months)

We visited the High Desert Museum and did we ever have fun.
We almost had to sleep there because most of the exhibits are outside and we were not aware of the 5pm closing time... well at 5:15 we left main building... not even one car in the parking lot.
boy did we ever have fun.

Spring Celebrations

As a family we celebrate Easter as a symbol for new life, rebirth, growth and change.
Giselle and I decorated dyed and decorated eggs (experimented with natural dyes) and had a few egg hunts... Richard and Giselle made some beautiful beeswax candles.
