Meet Maria Liliane

This is our little sister, Mary! Her full name is Maria Liliane, but she said to call her Mary so we will! She is really nice and a little shy, but it is her first day here.



Tía knitted her a vest with a heart on it for a welcome present.



Here we are together: (Eva, Mary, and Mia in case you can't tell!)



And speaking of names, do you know our full names? Mia is really Maria, and Eva is really Evelina! We like to write our fancy names but never call each other by them.

Gotta run, but TTYL!

News Flash!

Tía just informed us that a new girl is coming to live here! We are excited and just a little scared. It's just that we hope she's nice, but most American Girls are, so guess we really shouldn't worry. Tía won't tell us anything about her except that this was the last chance to bring her here, whatever that means!

Meanwhile, we are having a lot of fun with Elena and she is teaching us Spanish! Sorry no pics, but there will be some soon!

¡Adiós!

Photo Collage

just playing around...



Each time you click the title 'Photo Collage" it is a different layout. Fun!

Finding Inky

Do you know our friend, Inky? That's her in the photo. She has the most amazing blog! We wanted to let our friends know that she has moved here to blogspot so you can keep up with her. We put her link in our side bar (The Inkiad!) and here, too: http://superinky.blogspot.com/

We still have colds and don't want any pics with our red noses. :-)

Hugs, Mia and Eva

Sniff!

We spent the whole day in bed because we both have colds! Tía gave us lots of herbs and hot tea and we read books. Hope we are better tomorrow!

Today We Saw a Bald Eagle

It flew across the field next to our house and grabbed a small gray animal which was most likely a rabbit. If you ever get to see an eagle close up you know how large they are. And so graceful when they fly. We did feel bad for the rabbit, but this is part of nature.



There was also a hawk called a Northern Harrier hunting in the field who caught a mouse. And speaking of birds, every night we hear a pair of Great Horned Owls hoot back and forth. They sit on the roof of our house and hunt in the same field at night. These creatures make life seem so special and we feel really lucky to see them. These are not our own pics.

Our Sister Samantha's Portrait

Well, it's more like a sketch:



And Happy Mardi Gras! There are so many holidays right now, which is fun. :D

Happy Chinese New Year!

We've already done enough for Valentines Day so today we celebrate Chinese New Year.

Except, we do wish they made these shoes in our size:


we found that photo on a very hip blog here: http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/

Anyway, it is the year of the Tiger! If you want to know your Chinese horoscope you can find it here:

Have a great day no matter what you are celebrating!

We Love the Olympics!

Sorry we have no pics today because we are busy watching the Olympics! We love skiing, snowboarding and ice skating. And the opening ceremonies were amazing. We get to stay up late to watch everything, and that is special, too.

TTYL :D

We Got Bling!

That is to say, we did get our ears pierced yesterday. It didn't hurt at all! Well, maybe a little bit, but now we look very grown up. The flash made the earrings shine. Girls love their bling! Teehee!



In case you are wondering, that photo was taken at a Valentines Day party. It was fun with lots of treats and we made Valentines and gave them to each other.







Tía wants us to remind you that kids need to get an adult's permission before they get their ears pierced (or their dolls' ears!) :)

We Know You Saw the Tree, but...

Some of our friends asked for a pic of the tree with us in it, so here you are. We got dressed up in our Valentine dresses for a party later. Notice, we still don't have our ears pierced yet. That's happening later, too. We are so busy! ;)

Guess What! Guess What! GUESS WHAT!!!

OK, we are just a bit excited! Haha! We are going to get our ears pierced for our Valentines Day presents. We have wanted to do this for a long, long time, but it's kind of scary and our Tía wasn't sure any of us were ready (including herself). But, now it is time. We picked out some cute little earrings at the store and tomorrow will be the big day! Wish us luck!
