Memorial Day Weekend

Over Memorial Day weekend Gramps and Mimi drove from Fort Wayne to visit us. We had beautiful weather and were able to spend time outside and grill out for the first time this year. Mimi had lots of crafts planned, including edible finger paint (Juliet's first experience painting) and a stepping stone for Lily to decorate. It was a really nice weekend and it was great to have visitors!

Sunglasses

The girls are so cute in their sunglasses and like wearing them even in the house. Jules doesn't say much yet but she's very expressive!

Springtime

Since the weather has warmed up, we have been spending a lot of time outdoors. We play at the park, in the yard, or on the back deck. We will soon be fencing in our backyard so the girls can play outside more freely. I joined a mom's club last month so we have also been going to playgroups and meeting lots of new moms and kids. Our biggest news is that Juliet started walking a few weeks ago...she is very pleased with herself!

Lily helped me plant our flower bed this spring and Jules helps daddy with the yardwork.

On rainy days we bring the car inside and both girls try to fit in it. They also make the necessary repairs when there is a crash.

Our back deck is set up like a little outdoor playroom.

We take wagon rides almost every day and they love facing each other and blowing bubbles.

Michael painted a little Ikea table with chalkboard paint for the kids.

Easter

Our little cuties had fun on Easter, although we missed seeing family this year! We decorated eggs and then hunted for the eggs and treats that the Easter Bunny left. After the girls found everything, they had eggs spread all over the floor as they sorted through their loot.

Trip to the Zoo

Last week we had a few really nice rain-free days and went to the Baltimore Zoo for the first time. This is Lily with her best little friend Adriana. They are super cute together and love to meet for playdates!
