Amara Walking!

Amara walked today!  She wouldn't cooperate for a video...I think she wanted to keep her new superpower on the DL.

Kiran's Third Birthday Party!

Kiran has always referred to the muppets as "PigFrog" after the only two characters she really loves.  For her third birthday party, she got a Miss Piggy and Kermit theme!

White House Easter Egg Roll

If Richard had a Facebook page, this would have to be his profile photo.

How champions are made.  Don't Kiran and her "coach" look fierce?!  I wouldn't want to compete against them!  [Amara is still more into hitting herself on the head with the spoon...it'll come with time.]

...And they're off!

Go Kiran!

She loved it!

One day, when Kiran is running the world, I hope she has this photo hanging over her desk.

Kiran rolling her egg, and Richard rolling Amara?

Okay, if you have any doubt about how competitive Kiran was, check out the woman in the pink shirt next to Richard.  See that pink orb on her left leg?  Yeah, that's Kiran's egg flying through the air.

Amara preferred the "crawl and chase" method.

Amara going for it!  The heart of a champion is in there!

A little help from Dad.

She got it!

Mama congratulates the winners!

The Magic Binkie Tree

On Saturday, Kiran planted a magic binkie tree!

Here is the big three year old with all of her binkies.

Digging a big hole with Dada.

Time to throw all of the binkies in the hole.

Lots of binkies to get through...

Binkies in the hole.  We covered them with dirt, said a magic spell, walked around the hole three times, waited a few hours, and then...

TOTAL SHOCK.

A magic binkie tree grew!

[It hasn't been as much fun since she realized she now has to go without binkies at bedtime.  She has since told us she wants to go "knock it down."]

But she was excited to climb the tree one day!

The lovely flowers of the magic binkie tree!
