There was a children's carnival at the elementary school. Some friends from the Cities (Rick, Kris, Morgan and Sam) were in town and attended with us.
The weather some days has been pretty nice so we have been playing outside in the yard. These girls LOVE being outside.
And at the park...
Anja and her little friend, Oden.
When we are inside the girls love playing with Dutch and Scottie...
Both Anja and Elise can get a little heavy handed with the animals, but both Dutch and Scottie are pretty good about putting up with them.
The library gives little prizes for activities kids do with books, so in this picture Elise is "reading" a book to Dutch.We took a trip to the mall and the girls loved riding on the horse (50 cents can go a long way!)
Elise and Anja love each other very much and it really warms my heart to see them play together and enjoy each other. Pretty regularly, Anja will go up to Elise and give her a hug. Anja is a very cuddly, loving girl and she really loves her big sister. And the feeling is mutual. Today Anja went in for her 18 month check-up. At breakfast before the appointment Elise was really quiet and not eating. I asked what was wrong and she said "I'm sad because the doctor is going to give Anja a shot." And then her eyes welled up with tears. Elise really does not like it when her sister is sad. She doesn't get frustrated, like some older sibs can, she gets really sad and does whatever she can to cheer up Anja. She sings to her or tries to tickle her, or brings her a toy. Oh, my sweet girls!By the way, at 18 months, Anja weighs 20.2 lbs (2%) and is 31 3/4" tall (33%). She is a little peanut!
