Way behind! Adding our 2011 Santa photo in May (the 31st to be exact). Horrible. Look how old Our Girls are! They have us very busy, with school, school activities, gymnastics, brownies and the tons of laundry I have to do to keep up with their constant outfit changes... Not to mention I am back to work full time. Here's quickish update.

Evelyn now 8 1/2 and is in 2nd grade, acting 13 at times. Loving gymnastics is at Cascade Elite level 2B, practicing 1x a week 90 minutes. Also in the Glee club at school, enjoys this as well. She loves music, is very up on the new tunes and always telling Me what I need to put on our playlist (thank goodness). She got a cell phone for her birthday but rarely uses it. Mostly when I force it on her to keep in touch from the boys and girls club. Evelyn is super inquisitive and very sensitive.

Grace is 7 is in first grade. Also in gymnastics once a week for an hour she has been steady in a beginner class. Grace hopes to join Glee when she is in 2nd grade (next year) as they dont allow 1st graders to join yet. For now she has enjoyed the concerts with us in the audience. She is a techy kid, loves her DS, can run most mechanics, she loves to snag her sisters cell phone to text her friends. Grace has a ton of energy still and the biggest heart ever.

Steve and I are doing great, will be celebrating our 11th anniversary in July. I have been at Vista optical for a year now and am enjoying the convenience and commute. Full time has been adjustment but we are adapting well. With that I am stepping down from PTO board secretary to just plain old board member. We have some fun stuff planned for the summer including Lake Chelan and Sol Duc as usual. Hope to plan our next vacation soon.

Riley is now 12 and Piper is now 11 and they are both doing super. Other than a ton of greys Riley isn't showing her age at all. Pipers starting to have some minor aging issues but still a huge love bug and the heart of a pup.
