Spring is here

Yes really, spring is here. Ava picked "flowers" and Jack was

crushing as many as he could stomp on.



Jack was sure to bring this moment of

solitude to an end very quickly.

...and here he comes.

Easy to climb up. No so easy to go down.

On the Magnolia bluff. 



Trees blossoming.

Stairs to be climbed.

The man in the hat.

...the Korean tanker out in Puget Sound.

Rainier is "out" again looking massive.

...but since it's Seattle there always the chance for a squall...

...or two.

What to do except eating leftover birthday chocolate.

Ava's 5th birthday

Thursday February 28, 2014 Ava turned 5.

Holy Moly. She's a big girl.



We celebrated at home with a tripple

chocolate birthday cake.



Nice work.

On Saturday it was time to celebrate with her friends.

"Frozen" themed party with Ava's favorite characters.

She set her hair on fire a bit blowing out the

candles. That woke everyone up a bit.

"I'm five."

Naomi and Gemma starting off the art-project.

With best friend Mia.

One of the boys Ava likes to play with - Alex.

With "long" time friend Maja.

Naomi concentrating.

...and Sofia was there.

...and of course, Mr.Jack.

Part of Kate's hard work with decorations.

Including "ice Jello".

"Olaf noses" were a bowl full of carrots.

Tripple layered Hawaiian fruit cake.

Yumm och Mumsfilibabba.

Ava and her gymnastics medal and the kissing brother

 Gymnastics is done for this spring and Ava
was awarded a medal. She loves her gymnastics
and she likes her coach. I am sure we will continue
this spring (all photos by Sanna).

 Straight as a whistle

 While Ava was doing gymnastics this
was what Jack was up to.

He can be such a flirt.

Day out with daddy and at home

Monorail. Jack's been asking about it for weeks.

Supercool

Jack looking a bit lost

In Jack's newly decorated room. "Hmmm, where does this

piece go....and what is my sister doing?"

"I lost of tooth. I'm five. I lost a tooth. Will

Will the tooth fairy come?"

She did come!



"I have all my teeth".

"I can climb. Watch me."

Goofing around in bed with dada.

Playing around with Sanna.
