Weekend in Columbus

Uncle Eric is SO MUCH FUN!

Hanging out with Cousin Daniel and Grandpa and Grandma. Annika can't wait to see them again in July.
Happy 90th Great-Grandma!
Lauren enjoying an apple as we wait at the airport. Annika did really well on the plane; lets just say Lauren ate LOTS of snacks during the flight.

Family Photo

Picture Day!

In honor of Mother's Day we decided to drag the family to a portrait session. As is par for the course, we didn't get any full smiles, but at least we avoided any major meltdowns. This was Karl's first experience at a photo place with the girls - he said we can do it again. . . in 5 years.

Summer is a comin'!

One of life's simple pleasures: water!
Olivia doesn't look too amused with Annika's antics.
If only I were a little taller, I could get both of them soaked!
One of summer's best treats: popsicles!

May Days

Lauren discovered the joy of coloring her hand with blue marker and then kissing it. If she keeps this up I may just audition her for Blue Man Group. (Her latest "pose" for the camera is smiling and squinting her eyes.) Cheerios Bandit!
Indoor play can get pretty rough in the Pollack household!

Snuggling with Daddy is the best!
