The dynamic duo

We have finally reached a time where the girls get along more than they fight.  It is a much more peaceful way of life.  Alena loves to encourage Nora to go upstairs with her to play Barbies.  Frequently something strange happens while they are up there.  Some of their recent hijinks: "cleaning" the bathroom floor with half a a bottle of body wash, making a fort in our closet and trying on large amounts of sweaters including an underwear "doctor's mask", applying makeup and nail polish, and Alena changing Nora's poopy diaper (she did a great job--the only mistake was the diaper was on backwards.)  Nora is always singing or talking in an endless string of uninterpretable words.  Sometimes she will say, "Please Yaya."  Alena will say, "I don't even know what you are asking!"  Or she will say, "Tank tu, Yaya."  Alena will reply, "I didn't even give you anything."  Nora usually laughs at that point.  Nora learned how to say her name a couple weeks ago and now is no longer "mine."  If you say, "you're funny!" she will reply, "No funny, Nowa!"
Relaxing and catching up with Curious George.

We had our snack at the pond at Brucemore before sailing a boat we made that morning (inspired by Curious George.)


Only their mother can tell them apart!

Baby Alice

Nora felt really big hanging out with Baby Alice.  Don't hit, Baby Alice!
