We finally got a few days that were warm enough to break out the pools!

Baby's got back!

Day 2 of the water park extravaganza and E. is in the pool by 10 am! Great way to keep her busy while Mom and Dad work on the garden.

Our Garden: The Beginning

Monday, April 13, 2009





We've decided to expand our little herb and tomato garden of last summer to an ambitious veggie, herb and flower garden this year. We're doing three square foot grid raised garden beds. Eliza is already having a lot of fun with it. We often have "meetings" about what we're going to plant and where. She knows all about compost, peat moss and vermiculite and she thinks it's particularly hilarious that our garden will have cow and chicken "poop" mixed in the soil! We'll keep you posted on our progress.

Happy Easter!!!




We had a great Easter! Eliza and Willa woke up and searched for the eggs and baskets that the Easter Bunny brought for them. Later, we went to our neighbors' house for brunch and then played in the yard. It was a beautiful spring day, too!

Eliza has had two great potty training days in a row! Today, she pee-peed on the potty 4 times and had only one accident!!! Look at all the stars on her potty training chart! Look at all Mommy's exclamation points!!!!!


Morning Concert

Sunday, April 5, 2009






Eliza directed a concert in her bedroom the other morning. She posted signs announcing the show all over the house. Daddy sang and she hummed in her rocking chair (a la Audrey Smith). Mommy and Willa, who were mere spectators, were quite entranced with the virtuoso performance.

Preschool Easter Party

The Easter egg hunt had to be moved indoors because of yucky weather, but it was still fun!
