After returning home from our super-fun swim date at the gym, Jasmine managed a brief nap before round 2--her cousins from the Bay area. My brother decided that he just hasn't been busy enough lately (a 70th birthday celebration in Florida, camping at Yosemite and a weekend workshop), he opted for a fourth weekend away from home to pay us a visit. Our good fortune.
These girls know how to tear a house apart.
They know how to catch lizards and chase butterflies.
They like to share their toys and teach Jasmine all their big girl tricks.
They say please and love to eat.
When we went to the park today, I had one simple request. Because as a mom to one, I find it hard enough to get a good photo. But for these 3? Always on the move? I tend to give up getting any action shots. All I asked was for one simple photo where they all looked at me...
But the creme de la creme? Frenchie (not in this photo) brought her smallest bike, as a loaner, for Jasmine to ride. On loan until she has kids of her own, at which time she would please like it back. Here she is, carefully watching her oldest cousin for tips
The proud borrower of a big girl bike.

Oh, and if this hasn't been a busy enough weekend? Emmy came over for a playdate. In the midst of all the chaos, these 2 still found time to take a breather and paint together. If you look carefully, you'll see the lizard in the bucket, one of 2 captured this weekend and relocating to Los Gatos, with the expectation that they will like each other enough to...mate...and lay eggs.
Jasmine and Emmy are only one month apart, but you wouldn't be able to tell by this picture. Seriously, if Jasmine's growth doesn't slow down just a tad, I will not know how to explain to people her actual age. Does she look like a child not yet 3?
