 The girls on the balance beam at gymnastics class

And their gymnastics class "completion" certificates, of which they are immensely proud.

The girls are really into posing now. Penelope was saying "cheese" in this picture! You may notice she and Z are wearing bibs in some of these pictures. After two years of refusing to wear them, they're now interested in them as fashion accessories.

Zahra - note her carefully arranged Yo Gabba Gabba dolls in the back

Zahra has always been our most adventurous eater, but now she's really shown an interest in helping moin out in the kitchen as well. She loves to help him, and to taste what he's making.

Finally, Quinn has left for California to hang with Wa and Pa for the week. Here's a picture Wa sent me of him taking off his shoes as soon as he got there!
