The start of a new year finds us in the gym, working out and shooting hoops. Here we see Basketball Boy working on his bunny shot.

Not to be outdone is Basketball Girl, ready to make a hookshot before she even sets down her dufflebag!

New Year means time to go back to school! Isabel looks smart in her new Christmas clothes. Looks like Santa brought somebody an Ipod, too. Lucky girl!

After a long day at school, it's nice to relax with a hot cup of tea. Cindy practices for her upcoming gymnastics routine while serving tea in her mint green colonial gown.

It's playoff time! Clark is ready to watch the big game and cheer on the Packers as they travel to Arizona to see which defense can give up the most points. Sigh.

Ah, the life of a runway model. Windswept hair, beautiful clothes, legs that go on forever...what's not to love? Well, if you look deep in Isabel's eyes, you can see the confusion. She's thinking, "Can I really frolic in the snow and stay warm in this get-up?"

Take a tip from your twin sister Cindy. You can stay warm and look cute at the same time. Snowball fight, anyone??!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner!
Here we see Gloria sadly waiting for some boy to work up the nerve to ask her out to dance. Oh, Gloria, it's going to be a long wait. Most boys would prefer a root canal to dancing. Just go out and dance like no one is watching!!

Now take Cindy, for example. No dance partner necessary. See how awesome she looks out on that dance floor?

Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. Cindy plays "spring break" and dreams of a warm-tropical island where the waves gently sweep her away...
