The Cat

So yesterday, I notice Abby walking around with this all over her face . . .

When I asked her why she had marker all over her face, she responded with, "I wanted to be a cat."

Bunny Talk

Tonight after dinner, Abby and Essie got a little Easter candy for dessert. While eating a miniature Easter bunny, Essie has her own made-up conversation with it:

Bunny: "No! Don't eat my feet!"

Esther: [Bites into bunny's feet] "Why not?!"

My Favorite Flower: Ranunculus

My mother-in-law has such a green thumb.

So whenever she comes to visit, we are always blessed by her little touches to our backyard garden. Abby is her faithful assistant, donning garden gloves, a watering can, and a hoe as she climbs up over the wall to dig with Grandma. She's picked up Grandma's gift for growing beautiful things. This year we are seeing little buds of a bulb they planted together last fall, my favorite flower, ranununculus.

Eric also spent several hours in the backyard with our little gardener last weekend, planting petunias and snapdragons, among other things.

I can't begin to tell you how this little flower makes my heart soar.

Precious boy.

My favorite!

I love the dimpled, gummy grin of a newborn...

Matching Outfits

I love putting them in matching outfits, whenever the chance arises, so when Grammy bought these outfits at Costco, I had to snap a picture.
