A lot has changed since my last post; for starters, our family has grown! Not like, that, though... We have Larissa living with us, from Brazil. She is our au pair and we looovvvvee having her here! She came with us to California at the end of July (Evan's cousin was getting married).

The girls' personalities are so very different. Iris was interested in collecting shells and not so much in the water (too cold). Sibyl loved the waves and wanted to chase seagulls.

We visited the Birch Aquarium, which was just the right size. Both girls had fun and we were done in about an hour.

We spent some time with Evan's grandparents and Donna showed us this beautiful quilt she made in honor of Beatrice Hogle. Sibyl's middle name is Beatrice, after this great grandmother.
As for earlier in the summer -- Iris has been hanging out with Eliza a lot! Iris was in a morning summer camp for two days a week and loved that. Her health has been pretty good all year -- no hospital stays since early February.
Sibyl is growing up so fast. She loves to swing and she doesn't fit in her onesie I used for monthly photos. She does seem to have a slightly smaller belly, though...

As for me, I started a new job in late April and graduated in May! I really enjoy my new job and I have been taking the light rail to work recently. Evan has been hiking a lot of 14rs and my new interest are Bodypump classes at the gym.
