week 4 // you are my wild

This week:

The cold rolled in and we spent most of our time indoors.  Neve was a good sport, and she let me photograph her while she set up a fort under her bunk.  Here, she is listening to her sister give her detailed instructions for how it should look.  They also made little stop motion animations (I am not permitted to post these until they are completely finished, they say...), and they began planning their valentines.

We leave for a little vacation this Thursday afternoon to New York City, New Jersey, and Brooklyn.  We are visiting dear friends with children that I'm ashamed to admit we've not met yet.  (I can't wait to hold those babies!!!)  And then my brother's birthday was yesterday.  I hope to do a little celebrating with him when we visit in a few days.  (Happy birthday, Joey.  Your nieces have big plans in store for you and that city...)  This trip is kind of a big deal for the girls because they have no memory of NYC.  Fiona was only 2 when we last visited, and as Neve put it the other day, "I'm so excited to go because the last time we went I was inside your tummy.  And I couldn't see much from in there."

That sums up our week here.  Check out the others' here.  It's my favorite Tuesday yet.
