Turtles and Geckos


Hello to all of you who are checking in on us. I keep adding more and more pictures to this site and wish I could show even more at a time but I am fighting to keep things short.
The kids had no school today so we all decided to go hiking at the Thunderbird Conservation park which is only a five minute drive from my house. The girls were very ambitious and dragged me to the very top. I had Isi in a backpack and after an hour and a half of hiking I don't think I will be able walk properly for days.
Earlier this week I saw one of the best things I have ever see in my life. As I was picking Hera up from Cheer, I was waiting outside watching the girls play a game, when it happened. My shy, conservative Hera had completely let loose and was dancing like no one could see her. I LOVED IT!

I am showing off the girls recent projects. Athena made a Gecko stepping stone, and Hera made a sleevy (as the kids call them) out of an old T-shirt and stitched the turtle on all be herself. Athena made one with a snake on it but we can't find it at the moment.

Little Isi was trying to jump today. Lot's of little wipe outs and just plain way too cute! She also grew two new teeth with one more about to pop through. No, I haven't been sleeping well, however all the extra cuddles to make her feel better make everything bearable.

Till next week,
Sending Hugs and Kisses,
Charmaine and Girls
