Talented Girls

I am so blessed to be able stay at home with you girls every day. Your daddy works very hard and without complaint. He is so thankful that I am teaching and loving you two all day long. What's nice, is that he recognizes the difficulty of my "job" and thanks me often. I'm not sure what I would do if I missed your developing personalities and talents during the day. Here are some of your recent tricks:

Olivia plays peek-a-boo very well and thinks it's quite funny.

Charlotte is practicing her jump rope skills with daddy. A life vest adds to the difficulty. We wondered if she picked this practice up at our gym, where we sometimes wear weighted vests.

You girls love the musical instruments. Charlotte is now trying her hand at singing while playing.

Gma and Papa Visit

Boy have we enjoyed having Gma and Papa in for the weekend. The last time they had seen you girls was Christmas and they just couldn't stand it any longer. They came up Thursday night and stayed until Sunday afternoon. We are so thankful we live close enough (7 hours) for them to drive up and see us!

With the warm weather, comes my little hose monster.

Daddy and Papa worked on my flower bed for me! Beautiful day!

Olivia's getting really good at standing up on everything!

What would yard work be without a wheel barrel ride?

The garden fairy came and decorated our front porch for spring.

Olivia's classic sleepy sign: middle fingers in mouth and snuggling burp cloth. Gma said daddy did this too!

Chasing a kids fishing lure as I reeled it in. Apparently great fun!

Moving and Music

Those are the current favorites right now...moving and music! Olivia suddenly has this crawling thing down pat and is chasing and following everything.

You girls are also loving anything musical. Charlotte has figured out that drums, horns, and pianos are all instruments. All you're missing is a guitar and you'd have everything you need for a band.

Caught you doing this...

You made it work!

Focusing now

Both of you drumming away!

Charlotte found a funnel in the kitchen drawer and came out doing this and I was able to catch it with the phone...

You two are so fun together!!
