Family Safety Day

We love visiting Daddy at work, but his company had a special day just for the kids. We were sooo excited to go to Family Safety Day, even though we had no idea how much fun it would actually be. Zadia dressed appropriately--purple sequined dress, rain boots, and safety vest.

And I'll bet you didn't know this about me, but I love getting dirty, building towers, and sitting in the driver's seat. There was plenty to keep even the littlest safety girls busy.

 Not sure what these cute creatures have to do with safety, but Zadia and I were pleasantly surprised to see some scaly and furry friends there.

 I made a new friend. He was giving out candy, after all.

And imagine our excitement when we found the gumdrop-bridge-building station! 

 We came home with coordinating pink construction hats (cute, right?) and new tattoos.

If only work could always be this fun!

Love and safety first,

Afternoon 'Ade

I asked Mommy if we could host my girlfriends for some afternoon tea. Although instead of tea, I wanted lemonade.

And cookies.

And then it was party time.

Love and afternoon tea,

Mommy's Girl

These are the moments Mommy lives for.

Snow White Meets Barbie

We had a play date at our friends Audrey and Aisley's last week. With four girlie girls and lots of dresses and high heels, it was a very pretty sight. 

Who would have guessed Barbie, Snow White, and Elmo would be friends? In the world of  an (almost) 2-year-old and a 3-year-old, anything is possible.

Love and unlikely friends,

Love Ya Like a Sis

Ollie's little sister, Vivienne, and I have been spending lots of time together. Partially because our mommies enjoy each others' company, but also because Tracey and Mommy have been filling in as the assistant teacher at school, while the other of them babysits the little ones.

I've really taken on a big sister role with little Vivienne. Holding her hand as we walk down the street, wiping her mouth after a snack, and smothering her with hugs. 

 She even came to dance class with me.

I can't wait until Vivienne's a little bigger so our Mommies don't have to worry that my enthusiastic hugs will squash her.

Love and big hugs for little ones,
Aiyana Eden

Reunited in Brooklyn

Leda, Jenny, and Tommy came to see us a few weekends ago. The five month age gap between me and Leda is feeling smaller, and Zadia and I really both love having another girl in the house!

We had a lot of fun, but the bedtime rituals were our favorite part of the weekend.

Mommy, Zadia and I really liked having three little ones running around. But Daddy says don't get any crazy ideas.

Love and sleepover parties,

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

Have you missed your daily dose? Don't worry, we're still here. We've just been a little preoccupied with life. We'll get you all caught up soon, we promise.

Meanwhile, school is in session and the seasons have changed. Good thing we got in one last visit to Pier 6's Swing Valley and Water Lab before the sprinklers got shut off.

Love and the end of summer,

Aiyana Eden

Afternoon Delight

Soon it'll be time to switch over to hot chocolate. But not before squeezing in one more ice cream cone.

 In case you're not sure how I feel about ice cream, just look:

 Love and end-of-summer treats,

A Passion for Purple

We recently bought a car and I specifically asked for a purple or pink one. We got black instead. I told Mommy I'd like to decorate it purple and pink. 

Mommy said you don't see purple or pink cars very often. But guess what we found on our way to the playground the other day? I happened to be wearing my pretty purple party dress (again!) which made for one perfectly purple picture.

Love and everything purple,

Zadia Love
