Dose of Cuteness

Claire's first time having pigtails
and her first fat lip from a fall at the park yesterday

Grace and Lily have become obsessed with a neighbor's cat that occasionally visits our yard. They've made a home, food and trap for the cat out of things they've found outside. Today they made masks and put on costumes to disguise themselves while they searched for the cat.

A Typical Sunday

One of our favorite places lately is the Wild Animal Park. It's only a fifteen minute drive and it's never crowded. It's the perfect place to walk around for a few hours as long as it's not a hot day. This was my first time taking my camera on a outing. I still have a lot to learn but it's fun to practice.

Muddy Days

Six straight days of rain meant a big muddy mess in the backyard. Mommy at the store + a fun Daddy = three girls getting really dirty and having a blast in the mud

The Latest and Greatest

Here's what we've been up to lately:

a little gardening:
we've got lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, and strawberries
growing thanks to Grammy G's expertise

snuggling:

bicycling:
Ty devised this rope system to get the girls up the hill on the way
back from the park

finger-sucking:
Claire continues to master the three finger suck

high-chair sitting:

Sweet potatoes and avocados seem to be her favorite.
