Happiness

These girls love to be outside!

Just because

Charlotte asked if I could take pictures of her and I happily obliged!   

I decided to get in front of the lens for a change!

Melted Bead Suncatchers

Last week we made suncatchers using Charlotte's large collection of pony beads.  

Charlotte carefully placed the beads in muffin tin cups.

Together, we made a rainbow in a large cake pan.

We cooked them on the gas grill at 400°F for 10-15 minutes.  The grill worked good except for the black specs it left.  

Pat drilled a hole and we hung them on our kitchen door.

Backyard Obstacle Course

This was a fun way to get moving and enjoy a sunny day.  We used everything we had on hand to create the course and there are so many possibilities to what you can do.

Little blue flowers and polka dots

Little blue flowers blooming (no idea what they're called), polka dot dresses, a warm sunny day, and two beautiful girls!

Wednesday

Caroline's first time "playing" at the park.

It was a little windy, lol!

Charlotte is feeding the chickens peas in their new temporary home.  Pat cordened off a small part of our barn. 

While Pat and Charlotte were working outside, Caroline scooted right over to the door yelling "Da-da!"

First Tooth

Caroline is brushing her first tooth that has finally broken through!

I am blessed to have a teething baby who is still sleeping through the night!

Springtime

She was so cute holding up her pinwheel 

A sign of Spring!

Perfect

 A perfect place to put a baby who likes to scoot EVERYWHERE and get into EVERYTHING!

She even does some light bouncing!

Just perfect!
