Aunt Maggie, Uncle Brian, and baby Jude came down for a visit. The girls love spending time with baby Jude. He is getting so big and is full of personality. We went to the Cabana Club a couple times to swim and go to the beach.
We started working on swimming with Siena. Lilli was not interested (although she did cooperate a little bit). Siena is attempting to swim with no floaties on!!!! She still has a long way to go, but we're finally seeing some progress. She still won't attempt to go under though.
We built a butterfly garden off the edge of our back porch. We have several plants there that monarch butterflies are known to love. We have followed the life cycle of a monarch butterfly caterpillar. We have other butterflies also, but we recognized the caterpillars and the chrysalis as a monarch. The chrysalis was hanging right outside our back door. The girls get so excited when they see the butterflies and caterpillars in the back yard. Lilli even picked out a book from the library about the life cycle of butterflies.
We met the Roof's at Vilano Beach. There were a few rain storms, but for the most part it was a nice afternoon. The boys boogie boarded while the girls played in the waves and sand. It was nice to drive right on to the beach and have easy access to the car and stuff without having to carry it a long distance.
We puppy sat for a coworker of Stefano's. This is "Puppy Lily". The girls had a blast taking care of her and playing with her. She loved the girls and the boys (although they were not fans of having a puppy around).
We met Noah and Andrew at the zoo. While we were there we ran in to some friends from preschool and managed to get them all to pose for a picture. 4 different families.
These are a little late. This was from JJ's BD party. Lilli playing with her buddy Andrew, posing for a pre-race picture, and the Cars race. Amy was very creative.
