Mom and Nate came out to visit last weekend, and we packed in as many fun activities as we could - the zoo, algebra, Scrabble, countless pretending scenarios with Helen, walking practice with Helen, and more algebra.

| Here we are on a cold Monday at the Omaha Zoo. |
 |
| It was so nice of Mom and Nate to teach Jane to walk while they were here. |
 |
| Nate's getting very good at naming his colors. |
Peter Pan is one of Helen's best friends these days. A favorite song from that story is "Never Smile at a Crocodile". Every time we turn to that one in our Disney Songbook, Helen has the self-imposed requirement to run to the closet, get out her "crocodile" (a.k.a. dragon) outfit, put it on, and then sing the intended song.
With our tulips in bloom, we again tried our hand at taking our girls' pictures in front of them. As you can see - that's a task easier said than done.

| Picture #51. Enter Pinwheels. |
 |
| Picture #68. Helen shares the joys of picking weeds. |

| Photo #75. Two smiles at once! |
 |
| Photo #101. Excitement, happiness, flowers, danger - it has it all. |
Finally here's a little video packed full of treats - Jane walking, Helen tumbling, Jane's animal sounds, "Helen the Spinning Fish", and their proud parents looking on in wonder. By the way, don't be alarmed by the duck-like noises Jane makes as Helen tickles her feet - that's her I'm-so-happy-I-can't-breathe-laugh.

Owen Loves watching them play! Too bad this computer doesn't play sound or I think he would enjoy it even more. Jane looks like she is going to be a track star. She is walking so well. Soon you need to start getting her to practice stepping over hurdles;)
I really thought that video would be of Jane walking. But really, it was of Helen stealing the limelight. Good job teaching Jane to do multitasking...walking, clapping and making animal noises. Jane is going to be amazing at chewing gum and walking when she grows up!
