Sword Fight

Zoe and her new friend, Natalia are bloodthirsty pirates. They are after Tim, Marcin and Ewa.

Wild Annie

Zoe took this picture of Annie in a diner while we were on our way to Watertown, NY.

flowers

Zoe took a picture of the flowers around the pool.

Original Artwork

Here is some original art by the girls. Zoe did the works in chalk and Annie painted.

What is it?

Zoe dressed Annie up as a garden fairy. So if you see something like this lurking in your garden you could feed it some Cheetos and send it on it's way.

Aye Aye Capt'n

Jen's dad, Martin, at the helm of the Cisne Branco.

Tall Ships

The Tall Ships visited RI at the same time we did. Jen and her dad got to go on 3 Tall Ships. The 3 ships were the Cisne Branco from Brazil, The Virginia and the Pride Of Baltimore from the US, of course. The Pride of Baltimore and The Virginia were smaller Tall Ships but were cool because they were older and wooden. The Cisne Branco is a newer larger ship. It was cool too.

Guess Who

Is it the infamous Shovelface? Oh, it's only Zoe.

Beach Bums

When we were in Rhode Island we went to Sandy Point Beach and Sachuest Beach. Sandy Point is a rocky beach. Sachuest Beach has sand. The girls didn't care though, they had a good time at both.

Sweet Portrait

A rare time when the girls just sat for a picture nicely together without hamming it up.

People Pile

Grandma makes a comfy spot to lie on while watching a movie.

Mad Scientist

Annie and Zoe were experimenting with Jello and orange juice. It was messy but they were busy with it for about an hour.

Bubbles

Everyone had a good time with the giant bubble maker Grandma brought to play with.

Dreamin'

Zoe is dreaming of next year when she figures out what this bar is really for.

Dancing School Days

These are pictures of Zoe at her last day of dancing school. They showed us some dances they learned this year and then they were awarded a certificate and a goody bag. Next year Zoe will learn ballet and tap and perform in a real recital with costumes.

Digging for treasure

Annie was digging for pirate treasure in the garden. She also went "swimming" in the dirt for a while. Maybe she was swimming to the buried treasure.

Nature Girl

Nature girl Annie cruisin' around the yard in a diaper. Sometimes she wears boots, too.

Tim's Early Birthday

We celebrated Tim's birthday early since he wouldn't be here for the day. Zoe is pouting because we sang the birthday song, which she refers to as " that stinkin' birthday song". Grandpa is letting Annie lick the frosting from the candles.

Singing in the Rain

Annie stood under the "rain in the house" as the shower leaked through the dining room ceiling.

A Royal Dog

Zoe shared her crown with Lily. Lily forgot about being a stepstool/maid dog. Perhaps she is dreaming of ice cream on a cone instead of dripped on the floor.

Camping

Annie says the rug is her sleeping bag. She has lots of room to grow into it.

Jammy Time

Annie wanted to get her jammy shirt on by herself and would not accept any help no matter what!

Springtime

Annie and Zoe are dressed in their winter stuff because outside was only 65 degrees.

Train ride

Tim and the girls try out Jen's Mother's Day gift. The trailer is the gift. The girls call it the train.

Swiming Zoe

Zoe is trying to entice Angie into the pool to swim with her. Angie thought it was too cold.

Bathing Beauties

There are some silly people in the pool. The water temperature- 68 degrees. BBBRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Daddy's Home!

Zoe is happy that Daddy is home. She exhausted herself jumping up and down on him and fell asleep on his lifeless body. She made him say "OOOFF!" several times.

Angie and Zoe

This is the dog we are babysitting. Her name is Angie. Zoe has taken over her care.
