No wading allowed...













Wading? No, not us. At this little oasis, wading and swimming are not allowed. Putting your feet in, well...it's a must, especially when other kids are doing it. Harper wanted to jump right in, no doubt about that. Instead we just cooled our feet off on this warm sunny spring day. This park is one of my favs, it's quaint and just our size. Plus who doesn't like waterfalls?

Winkers




Your knicknames have become Winkers and Dimps thanks to your daddy:) Your brown eyes sparkle and your left cheek dimple twinkles making you irresistable to love and squeeze any chance we can get. You are becoming more mobile by the minute. You are not crawling but instead are rolling to your desitination. You have been trying to pull up on things, mostly your parents. Anytime you see me, you reach your arms out for me to get you. Sometimes this will upset you if I am doing something and don't immediately come and get you. The instant I come home from work you are fussing until I pick you up. You are been making more sounds lately that seem to resemble words. I just love being your momma and watching you learn and grow. You are 8 months old Winkers and we can't imagine life without you in it. You make my heart smile.

not bad photography...

Last Saturday (Kate's birthday celebration) Harper took the camera around the house photographing some of her favorite people. She is so happy around her aunts and uncles.

Sister...

not by blood....but by the relationship built 15 years ago. How lucky we are to have this beautiful woman in our lives. This woman, who was not born our family, is so special to us that she is part of our family. Katherine Anna..aka Aunt Kate.. had a birthday April 4th. We celebrated this past weekend at the Dorsey household in Lincoln and although the g-rents weren't there (they were at the lake house), we celebrated with good food, glasses of wine;), and good company. Happy Birthday Aunt Kate...wishing you the best this life has to offer. Thank you for being an amazing sister, friend, and auntie to us. We love you!!!

Tent time...

This is what daddy's and their children do... they build tents.. it's not like momma's don't do this but at our house it's dad's specialty. Over at this camp, momma is the one who brings flashlights and books;)
