In the barn

Fun shot of the family. This was taken over Christmas break visiting a friend's horses & mules in Palos Verdes. The girls had great fun feeding the animals carrots & apples and watching them all kick around & play when they were let loose to run around. They even got to sit on a real saddle. Thanks, Tom, for having us over!

"Hey, hey we're the Stoops girls..."

".... People say we monkey around, but we're too busy playing to put anybody down."

At the Worksite

One of the things keeping Janelle busy these days is a Daisy Scouts troop (Girl Scouts) that she started up and is leading. Back in November, the girls in the troop, including Elise & Chloe (far right) visited a nearby home being constructed by Habitat for Humanity to hand out bag lunches to the construction workers. We're proud of how all these girls worked hard to support a great cause in our own backyard.

Bathing Beauties

Bath time is also met with great excitement in our house... at least by the girls! What could be more fun for kids than hopping into a tub of water filled with toys?!
