Ellie's first dance recital
Ellie had her first dance recital last weekend, which was fabulous! They danced to The Trolley Song by Judy Garland. We were worried that she would be too scared to dance on stage, but she had no fears and came out with a big smile on her face! Afterwards we went to Friendly's to celebrate with dinner and ice cream :-)
Audrey's birthday party
Audrey celebrated her second birthday with a luau party in the park this weekend. Even though the party was from 10-12, it was HOT! Luckily, kids don't really care about the heat and they still managed to have a good time :-) We were so lucky that lots of friends and family were able to join us in celebrating this big event for sweet Audrey!

Eating lots of cake!
Audrey with her favorite birthday present - a creepy baby who coos, talks, and breathes. She LOVES it and we think that the baby could be in a horror movie! :-)

Happy 2nd Birthday, Audrey!
Two years ago today, our sweet Audrey joined our family. Today she is a fiesty, assertive toddler with a sweetness that can't be matched! Today she went to school after one of her current favorite breakfasts (blueberries, dried figs, and cheerios) and we joined her there later for a birthday party with her friends. Afterwards we went to the toy store so Ellie could pick out a gift for Audrey and they're playing with that gift (a toy cash register) now! Tonight we'll have Audrey's favorite dinner (burger and fries with LOTS of ketchup) and birthday cupcakes for dessert. This weekend we'll celebrate her birthday with family and friends at her luau themed party in the park. Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!

Ellie's dance recital practice
This is a very busy week for us! We picked up our new car tonight, Audrey's second birthday is Thursday, Ellie's first dance recital is Saturday night, and Audrey's birthday party is Sunday morning. (Not to mention that I got a new job!) Phew, I'm tired just thinking about all the running around we'll be doing! Last night was Ellie's last dance class and we filmed her class practicing their recital piece and the finale. I've posted them below in that order. Sorry they're both from the back. We'll tape the dress rehearsal tomorrow night so will finally have a video from the front and will post that, too!

Happy Birthday to me!
For my birthday, we all spent the weekend in Philadelphia and had such a fun time! We spent most of Saturday at the zoo and then went back again this morning to see the exhibits that we missed yesterday (we're members so free entrance and free parking - yay!). The girls were great and enjoyed staying in the hotel almost as much as the zoo :-)

The girls' both loved the Children's Zoo, especially this huge bunny village!

Sunday morning and back at the zoo!
There were special events at the zoo this morning for Autism Awareness Day. Ellie got to meet lots of different characters, of which Audrey was terrified. She kept calling Abby, but when we got close, she freaked out!
We had such a fun weekend and are completely exhausted! It was so nice to get away though. We hope to go back again soon and see more of the sights of Philadelphia!

ABCs
Here is a short video of Audrey being goofy. At the end, you can hear her version of the alphabet, which is just too darn cute! Pretty good for a 20 month old :-)

First day of spring
Yay for spring! It was beautiful here yesterday so we celebrated the first day of spring by spending most of the day outside. We took the girls for their free Italian ice at Rita's (like we do every year on the first day of spring) and then went to a great park nearby. We finished the day off at Ellie's BFF's house and had a great time hanging out with friends. More of the same today :-)

BFF was kind enough to let Audrey drive it, which she loved!

JOY!!
