Playing Together

Yes, everybody's happy when we're playing together.

Sister or ancient chinese statue?



Getting down like it's 1836.

And here we have pre-swimming lesson Sophia, getting a
locker-room pep talk from her diminutive manager.

Happy Birthday, Sophia

Sophia Cameron Carpenter turned three years old on Monday March 22, but we had her party on Saturday, so as far as she's concerned, that was the birthday. A great time was had by all...the weather held up so we had our first real outdoors-option family party in months, which was wonderful. Here's a few pics from the event.

The immediately-after-nap presents session
is apparently a bit bewildering.

Minnie Mouse gets a smooch.




Gotta love the pure joy of new dress, new backpack,
and a card that plays Kool & the Gang's "Celebration."

So i've had some issues in the past with uploading videos. They weigh too much for the system, but i've recently been tipped to a way to decrease their size; hopefully the loss of clarity doesn't detract from the experience for you folk. Here's Samari grooving to an awesome DJ at the Childrens Museum's Barbie exhibit.

Playing Outside and the Princess Chef

Now we can play outside. And who doesn't love a princess chef?

Swimming Lessons

Sophia started swimming lessons on Monday.
Here she is leading the pregame locker-room huddle
with cousins and classmates Lucinda (l) and Gabrielle (r).
