A Beautiful Day

Now that the kids and Mike have gotten over their colds (more or less) my body has decided to become ill itself. I have a pretty bad frog and stuffy nose, but other than that I'm great. The weather has been really great lately, but is supposed to change this weekend. So, we have been doing our best to take advantage of the warmth and play outside all we can. We've been learning to ride tricycles, play basketball, and generally just enjoying nature.

Today, Abram was being nice and rowdy while playing today and noticed that, when he yelled, his echo came back to him. It was pretty funny to watch him yell back and forth with his echo.




I love that we live in a valley that is small enough and quiet enough that a little boy can play with his echo. That's Penny by the way. She has started walking a bit more, but still prefers crawling. I hope she will be walking more. The knees in her pants hope so too.
Looking forward to the future when she will prefer walking to crawling I made her this mermaid skirt. I found this fabric at JoAnn's and spent more on it than I normally do. So I want her to be walking consistently before I let her wear it. Speaking of sewing...
I also sewed up this little dress for Princess. I was super worried that it would be too small for her, but when I had it all finished it was actually too big. I just can't seem to win. Oh well, the dress turned out really cute all the same.
