The River Walk.

November 16, 2009

We had such a great weekend! We went on the River Walk, through the River Arts District, which is less than a mile from the house. On both Saturday and Sunday we walked with Ruby in the stroller and Sylvie in the Ergo, and checked out the local galleries. Both days we had lunch at Clingman Cafe, and just enjoyed being together!

Here’s some pics from Sunday, when we ran into the Tribers and spent part of the day with them!

I waited too long to post these, so here are  few random shots from last week.

While I was doing the dishes this morning, Ruby decided that she and Sylvie were going to be chefs, so I helped them get dressed up  in their chef gear. Ruby’s favorite part was that both she and Sylvie got to have their own personal “mit-nit,” which is toddler language for mitten/potholder. Her pronunciation right now is just priceless.

Anyway, I couldn’t resist taking pics. It was adorable.

Good morning!

Every morning Ruby climbs into bed with the rest of us to say “Good mo-neen!” This morning I took some pictures of the girls snuggling, and managed to get our first official smile shot from Sylvie!

Here are our sweet girls!

And, on a completely unrelated note, here is a picture of Ruby giving Sylvie a bath, and Sylvie staring at her big sister. Ruby was so proud, and it was so sweet.

While Sylvie was napping, Ruby and I went outside to play. It was such a beautiful day, and I couldn’t resist taking pictures.
