Mother's Day

On Mother's Day we had dinner at my mom's house and then Jason got out a toy that Jonas had received earlier in the year. It is a giant inflatable ball that children can sit in the middle of and you can roll them around the yard. It was hard work for Jason but the kids sure had fun.

A Good Morning for a Game

A couple of weeks ago it was muddy outside so Lucy and Jonas decided to get out one of the games Lucy got for Christmas and play it. Lucy and Jonas are good partners when it comes to playing games because neither of them are upset if the rules are made up and changed constantly. At one point they appeared to be playing two entirely different games. Lilly, on the other hand, is really big about sticking to the rules and hates playing with them because they never do.

Finally Feeling Like Summer

After a long cold winter and a spring that has had a lot of cold days it is finally beginning to feel more like late spring in the South. We had not gotten out the big pool yet so the girls played in the little green pool one afternoon.

Swinging and Singing

Last year at this time Lucy couldn't sing. She started at a preschool that is really six hours of various types of therapy a week. This includes music therapy. It is amazing the change it has made! Lucy has finally found her voice and can sing just as much as Lilly can.

Playing Drive-In

Lilly, Lucy and Jonas were playing out in the front yard and while I worked on the patio cleaning things up and I looked down and saw that they were playing that they were at the drive-in movie theater. Lucy and Jonas were sitting in their "cars" while Lilly acted out a movie.

Another Evening at the Drive-In

National Picnic Day

April 23 is National Picnic Day. Lilly was home on Easter break, the weather was perfect, so we went and enjoyed a picnic out on our patio.

Fishing and Exploring

Dad and Hannah came fishing one evening and the girls and I walked around the lake with them. We found these barrels rotting out in the bamboo on one side of the lake. Jimmy says that originally they were part of a floating island back when the lake was bigger and used for swimming.

Easter Afternoon

We had an Easter egg hunt at my mom's house Easter afternoon. Traditionally we always forget where at least one egg is hidden. This year mom drew a map to show exactly where all the eggs are. We still managed to lose an egg. One day in the next couple of months someone will find it.
