It was such a beautiful day, that I decided a walk sounded nice. We waved at all the buses going to pick up children after school. We counted horses and talked about our favorite puppies on the street.
And, we enjoyed Megan falling asleep in the stroller on the way back 🙂
I told Megan to head downstairs for her nap. She usually curls up on the pillows. Today I discovered her jumping up and down on the bed watching herself in the mirror.
Most of the family is sick today. While they took needed naps, I did some chores and then took a few minutes to play with a picture that I found yesterday. I am not sure where it is from 🙁 , but it if from one of our walks in the Badlands.
Megan loves to have Adrian read to her, but she rarely snuggles into him. She prefers to sit next to him and follow along that way.
Guess who these cute princesses are.
Bonus points if you know how old they are. 🙂
Megan learned how to decorate cookies yesterday. She had a lot of fun helping to decorate the cookies the girls made to share as Valentines at church last night.
I found this picture of just turned four Audrey recently. When she was little, she almost always had her thumb in her mouth and a band-aid somewhere. It was rare that she wasn’t smiling, so she must have been very tired when I took this picture.
When Megan was little, I took a picture of her sleeping on this blue background. When Mark brought up this blue plaid shirt he loves Megan to wear, I knew I wanted to repeat the “Study in Blue“.
Her shirt is the matching one from two years ago (we had bought matching ones for Mark and Andrea when they were tiny). I had thought to change her into overalls, but I like the jeans. She still sleeps like a toddler, but that is changing too.
I am especially proud of these pictures. I have been attempting to use M (manual) on my camera and these are the first pictures that I did using light from the window and all the settings set manually without any help.
According to Megan, very few things are better than snuggling with your big brother when you get up from your nap.
Mark says that snuggling with your little sister when she wakes up is great too.
I love this picture! It has everything I want in a good sledding picture; movement, expression and snow flying. However, the original was not quite right, so I played with it. It’s different, but I like it a lot better now. 🙂
