Brother and sister…

Eating bacon together on the counter.

Eating applesauce in front of the TV.

Playing with umbrellas.

Looking out the window together.

And even wearing the same hair clips.

Carissa loves to color, and I love to watch her. She does it with such total concentration, which you can see in her mouth.

I interrupted her.

Wes loves to play with balls. He loves shooting baskets, playing catch, hitting the softball, etc. And he’s a really good shot.

Carissa’s favorite new toy is this play house. It comes with a mommy, daddy, and baby that she loves to play with. Someone gave it to Wes when he was about her age now (20 months) but he was never into it. Good thing we kept it! Wes will try to play with it alongside her, but she gets mad at him because he doesn’t do it right.

Carissa’s crazy hair.

Wesley.

I caved and bought the kids sunglasses for the summer. His are Thomas and I think hers are Hello Kitty.

I was trying to get Carissa to show me her tummy for the camera. Wes helped.

Carissa’s terrific artistic skills don’t just stop with paper and pen.

Carissa loves makeup. …And shoes. And jewelry. And clothes shopping. And anything else girly.

But here she is with makeup.

“Please open this mascara for me!”

Curling her lashes:
