Things We Do

Play

The girls made a bed, then had a sleepover with their bears.

Love it!

Snow Angels

The girls were so excited to go play in the snow!

Then they made snow angels. 

Daddy demonstrated, and after that Ava made angel after angel!

Hooray for a beautiful day to enjoy the snow!

All in a Midsummers Day...

Both girls are having fun learning...

Miss Lucy is trying to sit up, and loves to chew on everything!
(Sorry for the blur-I don't like setting off the flash in her face.)

Ava is all about coloring, drawing, writing...on everything! Chalk is fantastic, it's very washable. That makes mom happy!

The chalk works great on the patio...

on skin...

...on the retaining wall...

and on the landscaping bricks...

It is so fantastic how much children learn through playing.

Fun, fun, fun!

The little basketball and hoop-Ava loves it!

Lucy is still too little for a walker, but Ava finds it very entertaining!

Lucy just observed as Ava played with the toys and taught bear the important skill of baby walker-sitting.

Elijah Came to Play

He is seven months younger than Ava, but gave her a run for her money. :)
It was exciting to see Ava willingly share toys, even though there were moments where she wanted whatever he had, and nothing else could replace that.

Seriously, he is so cute, laid-back, and amiable. Now I want to have a boy. :)

We had fun watching Elijah so his mommy and daddy could go be a part of giving their pastor a huge surprise/blessing as a thank-you for twenty years of ministry. They enjoyed their evening, and we enjoyed ours!
