California comes to Texas!

This weekend my brother and his family came in to town from California to meet Caroline. We had a lot of fun hanging out, introducing Caroline and watching Katherine and Sophia play.

Sunday we went to my parents country club. We grew up going there in the summer to swim so it was fun taking the girls. They just finished a spay ground. Sophia and Katherine loved it.
Sophia was more aggressive than Katherine with the water. She had a ball.
Uncle Will enjoyed the spray ground too.

On Monday we went to story time at Barnes and Noble. Afterwards, Sophia and Katherine walked around the store holding hands. Sophia is 12 months younger than Katherine but she is at the top of the growth charts whereas Katherine is at the bottom so they are almost the same size. It was so fun this visit because they are now old enough that the one year difference does not seem as much as it has every other visit. They were able to play and interact with one another.
Notice the difference in coloring. Katherine looks pretty pale compared to Sophia's California tan.
After story time we went to the mall playground for some physical activity. It was tooooo hot to play outside. They both enjoyed climbing on the animal.
Monday night everyone came over to our house for dinner. The girls started first and look so grown up eating at the big table. They enjoyed playing the piano. It reminded me of when Will and I used to play duets.
This is the best picture of all three girls. You can see that 2 of the 3 are not happy. It is not easy to get a 2.5 year old, 1.5 year old and a newborn to all be happy and looking at the camera.
