Weekend Snapshots and Growth Stats

The girls attended Harper's 4th birthday celebration this weekend! We've known her since she was a baby and she's growing up quickly.

Basketball season is going well! Here is (from left to right) Olin, Justus, Emily, and Lauren... they've all known each other since preschool and play on the same team together. 

Lauren helped me experiment with taking pictures in low light conditions by posing with her Valentine wand.

We measured the girls today and here are their latest stats:
Emily- 47 and 1/4 inches (93rd percentile), 45.6 pounds (67th percentile)
Lauren- 46 and 3/4 inches (90th percentile), 43.8 pounds (57th percentile)

Happy Valentine's Day

The girls enjoyed a fun Valentine's Day celebration at school! Here is Lauren making a paper bag puppet with her classmates.

We went out for a family dinner at Meriwether's Restaurant to celebrate. Emily loved the complimentary play dough for kids.

The girls ended their school day early on thursday due to snow! I took these photos as soon as we arrived at home from school. Emily (left) and Lauren (right) were SO excited!

The girls did lots of sledding over the weekend. Our street is great for sledding! Here is Lauren going down the hill.
