Sorry for the lack of posts these days. We
haven’t really been doing much. Lots of outdoor time, playing
in the yard, replanting the garden, building a compost, etc.
This morning we went shopping to use up a gift card from Eve’s
birthday. I don’t normally take them anywhere that I need to
browse, but I was feeling brave this morning. It was
interesting. I had my first real “run in opposite directions”
experience :) Lex likes to move but is good about staying where
I can see him, but I put Eve on the floor and she was gone!
Like the wind! I went chasing her down the aisle, she looked
back, saw me coming, started giggling, and went faster :) She
was almost running! Crazy monkey. We all had fun anyway.

Here are a few pictures from the last few
days. I’m also working (trying!) on updating the photos site.
More later.

Lovely
ladies

Lex has
become very independent lately and most days gets himself
dressed. Some days he does better than others. This picture
cracked me up because he has both his shirt and pants on
backwards.

We went
to Billings Farm on a chilly, rainy afternoon. It was fun. I
love the colors in this picture. Eve found her hat in the car
and put it on, over her hood. I thought it was cute and left it
there :)

Dinner
after the farm. Eve and Caitlin had fun together. I think
Caitlin was hoping for another pretzel
there.

I took a
bunch of pictures of Eve in this cutie new diaper (it has a big
pink heart on the back!) but none came out as good as this one.
You can’t really see the diaper, but she’s adorable
anyway.

Later
that day. I decided to put some pants on Eve, she decided she
needed a hat, and the two of them were playing in the
kitchen.

Snack on
the porch this afternoon. Eve dove face first into Lex’s bagel.
He seemed more interested in her pears. Everyone was
happy!

Thirsty
girl

I just
thought this was cute. I love the hats and
poses.

Finally, I wish I had a camera this
afternoon, after snack (above). Lex asked if we could walk to
the end of the road to see if there’s any snow left. There used
to be a huge snow bank that he played on and for some reason
that came to mind and he asked to go. So we did. Eve was
sitting on our red, plastic push car (that Lex got for his 1st
bday) so Lex pushed her, at full speed, down the road to the
cul-de-sac at the end. We played for awhile and when it was
time to go home Lex decided he wanted to ride too. He sat in
the little car and I put Eve on his lap. It was adorable. He
wrapped his arms around her and away we went. I was half
expecting him to get bored and push her off, but he didn’t. He
held on securely all the way home and they were so happy. It
was adorable.
