One Thing - 3/10/15

Praise God for warm weather! We are so thrilled to be out in the sunshine again! 

I didn't get any pictures of the boys. They were out riding bikes around our cul-de-sac. And, now everyone is out with our dirty van at the car wash. Spring has sprung!

One Thing - 3/8/15

Yay for warmer weather! I was able to enjoy a nice long walk by myself during nap time. Then, later in the afternoon, Silas, Lydia and I went out for a walk. It was such a sweet time of exploring. We watched all the melting snow turned water pouring into the storm sewers, followed quickly moving "rivers" of water in the curb, and jumped over all the big puddles. Lydia kept telling me that she didn't want to go home. And, she discovered her shadow! It was so fun listening her talk about her shadow and watching her move about to make it move. At one point, she got confused as we walked through a shaded area. I assured her that she would see her shadow again in the sun. She excitedly ran to where the sun was shining! 

One Thing - 3/7/15

Lydia is ready for spring! An order I had placed from Land's End arrived yesterday. Lydia (and we) loved two knit skirts that I found for her from Land's End last summer. They fit great and were so versatile. I loved the little knit shorts sewn in as well. So, when I got the most recent catalog and saw they were selling the skirts again, I ordered a couple for Lyd. She was so excited to get her Twirl Skorts in the mail and has been wearing one ever since!

While I got everyone's teeth brushed and hair combed this morning, Lydia helped with Jude's tiny bit of hair.

One Thing - 3/5/15

Now that Jude can crawl, his next goal is to make it up the two steps to our sunken living room. He tries so hard but hasn't figured it out yet...we're ok with that!

One Thing - 3/3/15

Jude got ready for his 9-month well visit this morning by weighing himself while showing off his clapping skills. Our kind doctor says he is a healthy boy! 21lbs 3 oz and 28 1/4 inches long!

One Thing - 3/1/15

We went sledding this afternoon with some of our church family. We had a blast! The kids definitely didn't want to leave. I encouraged Silas that we needed to go by saying, "Look, everyone else has left. We need to go too." His reply? - "We don't have to do what everybody else does!"

Jude just hung out and got lots of attention from some sweet girls!
