Here's Valentina with her teddy bear rattle (thanks Rohl Family)! She is already 3 and 1/2 months!
We made it up north for Easter weekend and Giavanna was able to particpate in the Family Center's Easter egg hunt, which was held inside for her age group. The older kiddos were able to hunt for eggs outside in the snow!!
This is from the back porch of our cabin. It was such a treat to see the snow falling.
We went to our niece's baptism on Palm Sunday. Valentina got all dressed up!
We went to the Botanical Gardens to see the butterfly exhibit! It was Giavanna's second year in a row. She loved to look at the butterflies and the fish in the pond. Here she is posing as a caterpillar.
Now she has turned into a beautiful butterfly!
I love her little smile right here while she is looking at a butterfly.
The first week in March we had Giavanna's dear little friend, Lexi, over. They had fun with the music box. They have to tap on the box to get it to play each verse of the song so that is why sometimes they are hitting the box. Lexi enjoys dancing around while Giavanna likes to play with the school bus wheels. Too Cute!!
Giavanna loves to spend some time in her sand box. Even for me it is relaxing, borderline therapeutic, because the waterfall is on and I can stick my toes in the sand as well (Tomas is happy because we don't have to take the trip to HB for this!!)
Here's my friend, Malori. We met volunteering at Make A Wish four years ago. I am so lucky to have her help me out. She keeps good care of Gia and Valentina.
Giavanna went to her friend's house a couple of weeks ago and boy was it a treat! The backyard was a beautiful garden and yes, again, Gia was not too sure of how to walk on the grass (I need to take the poor girl to a park!), but she got used to it after awhile and had a lot of fun playing on all of the outdoor equipment!
Papa Tomas bought Giavanna a lovely chair. She loves sitting in it so that we can read her some books. 
Here is Valentina's godmother, Ana Maria (Tomas' sister). Valentina's Uncle Curt is not pictured, so we will have to post a photo of her and her godfather soon!!
