Stories
It feels like it took a while, but Eila appreciates stories a lot more these days.
She'll pull all the books off her shelf and then follow you around the house with one (to three - she likes to carry things, too) so that you can read it over and over. And sometimes she'll try reading it herself, too.

Oliver
 |
| From Anani & Oliver |
Today our family of five became a family of four because our dear Oliver is no longer with us. He had gotten sick, and unfortunately the infection had spread too far.
Oliver went through quite the transformation in his 14 years - from a terrified dorm room kitten to a lovable lap cat to the most tolerant fuzzball a mother could ever ask for.
 |
| From Anani & Oliver |
He will always be remembered for his incredible patience with the girls, and I only wish Eila had gotten more time with him.

He will be greatly missed, but Annikka assures me that "our love for him will stay in our hearts" (leave it to a 3 1/2 year old to say something so prefect).
Our home will never be the same without you Oliver. We love you.

Grandpa's project
Dave spent a little more than week here building us a new front step/patio. It looks great and we're all looking forward to enjoying it this summer.

So messy

But she's making some real improvements in feeding herself.
Yogurt anyone?

Sitting still
Tonight I discovered a way to get Annikka to sit still while getting her hair cut, Sesame Street.
In hindsight, it seems like such an obviously solution.
Here's the final product ...
Wonder when she'll decide someone who knows what they're doing should cut her hair.

We had a great time at the Beaver baseball game this afternoon, although it was a cool spring day.
