I feel like the doors of opportunity for Anders and Jorja have been flung wide open. There seems to be something special about being "5 and a whole lot more" with regards to getting out there and trying new activities. They've performed in two musical concerts -- a Winter Music Festival and a Lunar New Year Celebration, begun swimming independently in the deep end with a front crawl, flip, back stroke pattern, started skiing, competed at a chess tournament, and discovered the magic of reading a book by yourself. Watching them discover is awesome.

Iver's introduction to solid food. Despite what this picture may evoke, he seemed to enjoy it.
