I love how happy Kira looks when she is playing!

Go Kira!

Funny, the boys always have to be reminded to talk to their teammates, but I've noticed that Kira and her teammates never STOP talking to each other (although it isn't always about the game).

Kira, I told her to be careful not to get her new white shorts dirty sitting on the wall with her brother, so she picked them up 1 inch.

Off to soccer.

Kira's First Holy Communion

Hanna can't wait for her own First Communion.

Kira before First Communion.

During.

Goof.

An awesome big sister.  She was so proud that she had taught Hanna to ride without training wheels!

Kira

I wonder who peed in her cornflakes?

It was at least -13 celsius out there!

Finally some snow for the kids!

Size is relative

The girls went for a doctor's appointment today.

Hanna is much better. She is 24 1/4 inches long and weighs 11 lbs 7 oz, which means she is a long and lean little lady. She cried for her needles. She has been pretty cranky, a bit feverish and flushed. Nothing a bit of Tylenol won't help.

Kira had her 3 year check up. She is a gigantic 3 foot 3 inches and weighs 33 lbs. Patrick had EXACTLY the same stats at 3 years old, and at the time I thought he was so skinny. Kira seems beefy by comparison. The difference is probably that at that time I had a 10 month old 29 lb Damon in my arms, rather than my dainty little Hanna. The appointment came to an end when the doctor used her "Magical Fairy Dust" to help make Kira's "nipple" (wart) on her hand disappear.
