Two Little Princesses

Claire joined in on the dress-up fun today with her big sister. She's still a bit small for all the pretty princess dresses, but she looked adorable in her little tutu, and Kaitlyn was more than happy to share her tiaras.

A Beautiful Morning for a Hike

Saturday morning was cool and slightly overcast, the perfect weather for a short hike in the Malibu hills. Matt and I took the girls in the backpacks for a 1.5-mile hike in Solstice Canyon Park. We saw beautiful flowers, a flowing creek, charred tree trunks surrounded by green foliage, a rushing waterfall, and the ruins of a historic home designed by renowned architect Paul R. Williams. The girls had fun running up and down the stone steps and peeking into the five fireplaces, about all that was left after a canyon fire in 1982.

Happy Easter!

We had a fabulous Easter weekend in Phoenix with family. The weather was great for swimming, watching a spring training game, and searching for Easter eggs in the backyard. Thanks to Jo and Kyle for hosting us all weekend. The food was delicious, and the company even better.

Kaitlyn summed the weekend up the best when she whined, "But I'm not ready to leave! I really like it here!!"
