Dancing and Dress-up

Spring is here - the sun is out and the snow is starting to melt!  We are enjoying our time with the girls and get a kick out of their shenanigans every day!

Yuri's Birthday
Yuri celebrated his 41st birthday with just us gals.  Here he is with two excited girls - one who has obviously been eating something with blue#5 dye.

Valentines Day
We LOVE valentines day...how stinking cute are these two?

More blue #5 dye...

Cousins Come to Visit
Addy and Quinn were in town attending a swim meet.  Rory and Massie were quite proud to be watching them at the pool.  Here is Rory with Addy.

Massie, Grandma Linda and Cousin Quinn.

Dress-up Days
Rory's school had a series of dress-up days and Massie wasn't going to let her be the only one to wear a costume to school.  Below is a picture of the ladybug and the mermaid. I'll note that they are holding their coveted Anna and Elsa dolls - they are obsessed with the movie Frozen.

The next dress-up day was for Luau Day.  Here is our little hula girl...beautiful little thing.

While the Parents are Away
Yuri and I have both been out of town a lot lately for work; my folks have been so helpful in taking in the little munchkins in our absence.  Rory and Massie LOVE their grandparents and are always sad to come back home with me upon my return.  Just recently the girls got to go to the ice park with their grandparents - below is Grandad Andy with the 10 mile stare indicating that he is ready for his nap.

We utilize skype a lot when Yuri is away - here is a screen shot.

WARNING - the next picture is pretty graphic...move along quickly if you get queasy (this means you dad). We recently went out of town for Yuri to undergo neck surgery - I accompanied him as his nurse.  The procedure took place at Virginia Mason in Seattle and we couldn't have been happier with the staff and results of the surgery.    

Here is Frankenstein after his surgery.

St. Patty's Day
We Morgan girls love holidays - no matter how silly.  Here are Massie and Rory before heading down the street to Jacyn's annual green party.

The green girls on their way to school -they were dressed sufficiently to ward off any pinches.

Growing Like Weeds
Rory's grandma Linda gave her a sewing machine for her birthday and we finally took it out of the box. Rory showed great patience and skill immediately - look at that concentration!  

I had to work late a few weeks ago but with Yuri out of town the girls had no choice but to accompany me. They were very well behaved and found lots of activities to bide their time.  I'll just have to hope our safety guy doesn't see their unsafe work habits.

After endless discussions about "Baby Harper" we finally made it over to see her and to drop off some hand-me down clothes and toys.  Massie struggled letting go of some of her stuff but she quickly got over it.

So...quick story.
Massie handed me my iPhone and on it was a picture of Jimmy Hendrix.  Now, I have no idea how she found this but she did.  She said to me..."I want to dance to him". I told her that the man in the picture was Jimmy Hendrix and thinking that she just wanted to dance and knowing that I don't own any Jimmy Hendrix I decided to play some Pearl Jam instead.  Upon hearing the song I picked Massie said, "No, I want Jimmy." Please note that  I've NEVER listened to Jimmy Hendrix - how on earth she knew what his music sounds like is beyond me.  I then you-tubed him and played one of his song...she loved it!  Strange situation...part of me seriously wondered if she wasn't a Woodstock participant in a former life.

Here are some of the pictures I captured of her dancing to "JIMMY"...Foxy Lady!

Happy Spring everyone!
