Sisters!

Cute photos of the girls playing together in Calista's crib. We keep waiting for her to move out into her big girl bed...but that girl really loves her crib. These were taken on May 2 and May 23, respectively. They both thought it was so much fun to play peek-a-boo under the blanket.

Dennis the Menace

Here are some fun photos from the Dennis the Menace playground in Monterey. It's truly an incredible experience. We were amazed by Calista's rock-climbing prowess. And grateful that this proved to be perfect place to take her before her nap in the car!

More Monterey Photos

Photos from the hotel room and the Aquarium. It's always sweet to see the girls interacting with each other. Cassie loves Calista SO much. Like I said earlier - altho we spent a lot of time in the cafe, at least there was a pretty view of the ocean! Also - Calista thought it was hysterical to get into Cassandra's carseat/stroller. Goodness gracious!

Monterey with Munchkins

Scott and I took the plunge and went to Monterey for a long weekend in April. The last time we had gone to Monterey together was 10 years ago when we first started dating and visited over the 4th of July weekend. This time was, shall we say, quite different. Kids in tow, we stayed at The Embassy Suites, which was perfect, except for the fact that we were relegated to the bathroom once the girls were sleeping. We went to the Aquarium, and probably spent more time eating in the cafe than visiting the actual exhibits. And we became fans of Chile's and Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in ways we never imagined we would. But we did have some highlights, like swimming in the pool at the hotel and going to an amazing playground called Dennis the Menace. So although we wouldn't call it a "vacation" for us, it was definitely an adventure!

Cassandra's 6-Month B-Day

Super Cutie-Petutie turning 6 months old! It feels like her first half-year has flown by. Now if we could just get her to sleep through the night!

Sesame Street at the Zoo

We took Calista and Cassandra to the zoo to meet Bert, Ernie and Grover, thinking Calista's head would explode from excitement. Of course, she was a bit shy, and it was me and Scott who got all into it! Oh well. The great thing about the zoo is that we always have a great time there, regardless of the circumstances.

Families!

We had our neighbors over for dinner on April 16 (much more manageable than going out!). Calista and Fin have been dear friends for at least a year and half now, and we really like his parents Nicole and John. Scott still remembers the day that he met Nicole when she said, "Oh - you're Calista's dad. My son was just kissing your daughter on the playground!"
