The Frisbee-decorating contest at the neighborhood end-of-school bash.

Sophia and Isabel with Julia and Natalie at the neighborhood end-of-school-year bash.

Isabel and Greer doing the 3-legged race at the kindergarten picnic.

Isabel at her kindergarten picnic which had to be moved indoors because of inclement weather, the kids had a ball regardless.

It's so hard being a baby, everybody always taking your picture and expecting you to smile. Although you can't tell from Chloe's expression, we had a nice visit with Great-Grandma Lynch, who was impressed with our new house (we're moving on up!) and our 9.5 foot high ceilings and our finished basement, and the girls were delighted to see her and promised to visit her soon in Florida.

Sophia holding court in typical Force tradition. We celebrated her birthday yet again at Aunt Eileen's in Milwaukee.

Chloe holds a sippy cup and I just had to record it for posterity.

For the birthday party, it was half gymnastics, half bounce, the kids made the most of the time they had by running around like crazy, I can't believe I got this shot!

This present got the biggest smile, Sophia's friend Lilia knows the way to her heart.

Ohmigod, where was this when I was a kid!! The girls loved this most of all, I think.

Sophia had a blast at her birthday party, we had it at Ultimate Gymnastics and I think it may have spurred a resurgence of interest in gymnastics, which I (Paige, that is) am very excited about.

Chloe and Gracie bonding. I swear her first word was doggie, or maybe kitty, but you really have to have a loose interpretation of "first word." Our neighbor has an Irish setter that Chloe just loves.

It was really fun to see Erica be so fascinated with Chloe. They're only 8 months apart, so it was fun to see what I have to look forward to since I've forgotten so much since Isabel was this age.

Well, almost all of them are looking at the camera... we had a great time visiting with Aunt Paula and cousins Erica and Claire. It is so fun to see my girls interacting with their cousins!

Chloe's all-time favorite toy.

I believe this may be the work of Isabel, amateur photographer.

Chloe enjoys the outdoors from the safety and comfort of a pack-and-play.

Grandpa reads the girls a bedtime story.

The secret to Chloe's happiness, being vertical.

Dave's dream has finally come true, he is THE godfather to Caroline.

Date stamp is wrong, this is actually April, 2008. I just love watching babies discover themselves in the mirror.

This is one of my all-time favorite pictures! Classic Force/Widder expressions.

We had a great time at Blue Harbor in Sheboygan, WI with Aunt Eileen and Uncle Carl and cousin, Caroline.

The day after this neighborhood Easter egg hunt, we had a bunch of snow, so the timing couldn't have been better.

A rare sight, Chloe enjoying her exersaucer.

Sophia had a lot of fun at the Lindenhurst Easter Egg Hunt. It was a bit cold but we soldiered through it.

Two of the cutest Easter bunnies I've ever seen.

Chloe says "I am NOT amused!!!"

Daddy's a little scruffy today.
