Last Week

Things are still going well around here.  Rachel has started swimming lessons and Henry is awake more during the day so that has slowed down my blogging activity.


Owen had a good time last week painting on the sidewalk outside.  He does not like to be messy so we had to keep a paper towel handy in case any dripped on his hands or legs.

Rachel really enjoys playing in the rain.  She got all dressed up when a cold front was coming through but it didn't end up raining on her much when she was out there.  She was hoping for some big puddles to jump in.

Henry still loves his mommy.

Inside, we get to spend time with "Princess Rachel" as well as "the Amazing Rachel".

Prince Owen did not stand still long enough for a good picture.

No tutu for Henry yet.

Rachel's class grew carrots in their garden.  Rachel was excited to bring hers home.

Delicious!

We also got a new splash pool for the yard.  It is not as big as out last out, but we think the kids will enjoy it.  Rachel was excited and jumped right in.

Owen needed a little more encouragement.  The water was cold, but he did get in and splash eventually.

The kids have also been spending quality time in the sand box and helping in the garden.

They are both great helpers at getting things planted.

Like any little boy, Owen loves to play with cars.  He even loves to push his cars around in a stroller...this is what happens when you have a big sister.
