April Wind

What a fun spring we've had so far!  A good portion of our garden is planted, and our whole family is loving time outside playing with Tucker, going on walks/runs, swinging and playing ball.  It has been so windy this month (some days even 40. 50 or 60 mph winds!), so some days we don't go out much even if it is warm and sunny. 

Lydia:
-What does the horse say? "Hay!" Well, that's probably what it's thinking.
-She continues to love lots of foods, but her go-to to always "Coookie"
-Starting to interacting more with Clara like making her giggle and playing peek-a-boo with her.
-Laughs at her own jokes which nobody else understands.


Clara:
-Sitting up with confidence...finally!
 Rocking back and forth on her hands and knees...not yet!
-Loves to eat.
-Loves to play with Lydia.


Here's a few shots of what we've been up to.

Lydia to Clara, "Come. Come."

1.5 seconds later. "Nooooo!"

A machine this size makes quick work of tilling our garden and corn patch!

...and after!  This was a big week for her because she turned 5 years old just a few days after her first hair cut!
