GHET-TOE !! Notice Sahara's toe poking out of her sock.
Here's an adorable picture of Maya snoozing on the couch. Look how small she is compared to the couch.
Close up shot.
No matter how mischievous and grown up Sahara can be, she's still my little baby. This picture may be a little graphic for those not accustomed to nursing. But to a mother this picture is pure beauty and love.
One of the only pictures I have of my dad with Maya and Sahara. 
The resident monkey improperly using the caterpillar rocker.
Daddy and Sahara peacefully sleeping. She looks just like her dad.
The girls are now big enough to have forward facing big girl car seats. Here's a shot of Maya.
And here's Sahara enjoying her new throne.
Sahara insists on holding the dog leash. This can sometimes make it hard to walk the dog.
A beautiful King Protea from our flower field. For those of you who do not know, we planted an acre of Proteas a few years ago as a way to landscape the huge dirt field in front of our house. We are now selling the flowers to local wholesalers and by next year the profits will pay for our property taxes. I can't wait !!!
We created a sand box for the girls. Here's a shot of Maya right before she handed her toy to Bella. This new thing of passing toys and sippy cups to the dog has kept mom running after the dog. Lots of fun !!
It has been hot lately and we are in the pool just about every day. Here's a shot of Maya "surfing" in the pool.
