The week started off well enough. Anabelle has been happy and sweet, enjoying exploring the world all day, and sleeping well at night.
Vita was really excited to have her fingernails painted for the first time.
And she also was invited to a pool party, which she loved. Here's Vita on her way to hit the pool.
Then it hit. Vita and Anabelle both got stomach bugs at the same time... with opposite symptoms. For about 24 hours it was pretty brutal. Here's Vita with her barf bucket.
In addition to the stomach bug, Anabelle's two bottom front teeth chose THIS exact day to break through her poor little gums.
Needless to say, neither of the girls were feeling good or at their best... but Grandma Marianne and Grandpa Vito just happened to be in Santa Cruz for a visit that has been on the calendar for a while. So... we made the best of it and we still had fun.
Teething crackers helped a bit.

The following day everyone felt a little better, and we went to the local aquarium.
Although we were feeling a little better, we missed nap time and some of us got a little grumpy for a while. Vita got all dressed up in a yellow princess dress for a photo shoot, and then changed her mind and didn't want to be in any of the pictures.
We decided to start taking a few pictures just with Anabelle (who was wearing a matching yellow princess dress), and eventually we coaxed Vita out for a few shots.
Here's a GREAT one of the girls with Grandma Marianne and Grandpa Vito.
We tried to take a nice one of the four of us as well, but we were too squirmy.
The next day, we headed over to a local state park for a little walk and a picnic. Here we are standing in front of a cross section of a redwood tree that was over two thousand years old when it fell in 1934.
Everyone was really back to their normal happy healthy selves, and we had a great day.
