Sisters, Sisters...

This week's post begins with a very challenging three-question quiz...

Question 1: Who's Who?

Yesterday, Holly noticed that Juniper's outfit for the day, diaper excluded, was a hand-me-down from McCall. We searched the archives and discovered a pic of McCall in the same outfit. So we tried to capture Juniper in the same pose. Now, you have to figure out who's who.



Question 2: Who's Has More Chins?



Question 3: Who's Most Likely to be Mistaken for being a Japanese Native?

I'll help you out on this question. The answer is C - None of the Above. We just wanted to show off the girls new kimono-style dresses. We are really proud of both Holly's sweet sewing skills and her sound judgment. After spending almost entire week's worth of freetime sewing McCall's dress, Holly had the good sense to pay someone else to sew Juniper's dress.



Working her Squatty Logs

Juniper disovered her legs this week and has taken in interest in standing on them. We are proud of the firm foundation these legs provide to help withstand the extraordinary gravitational forces generated by her gargantuan jowls.



Not to be forgotten, we conclude this post with a picture of Denver's stupid human trick. After years of hard work and strenuous practice, he has finally matched his Aunt Tessa's one-crossed-eye skills...

Ie Island Half Marathon

This Saturday it had been six weeks since Juno was born and that meant that, according to the doctors, Holly was clear to excercise. So, to celebrate she ran the Ie Island Half Marathon with her friend Amy...

Picking Up their Running Packets and Goodies

Instead of receiving a power bar in her race goodie bag like on previous races that Holly has run in the States, all runners at the Ie Island half marathon received a celebratory alcoholic beverage for after the race.

Juniper and Grandma Susan's Blessing Dress

For her blessing, Juniper was able to wear the same dress that her Grandma Susan was blessed in many, many, many years ago. The dress was handmade for Susan by her Grandma McFarland (Juniper's Great-Great Grandma).
