We went to visit my parents today. On the way home we stopped at a park and discovered a tulip garden. It was full of many types of tulips and I would have happily spent a lot more time there appreciating their variety and cheerfulness.

Coloring with Cousins
We were sent a note with these adorable dinosaurs from the kids’ cousins. I thought they were super cute and wanted to share them.
Thank you Jonah for the orange dinosaur, Joash for the green one, and Mikaya for the colorful one. They are all beautiful and made us smile.
Andrea and Ducks
We took the kids to the Manitou islands when they were little. We went hiking and slept in a tent by the water. The kid played in the sand and water as often as they could!
I found a picture of Andrea heading back to the tent and decided to play with an idea of adding something following her. She wanted ducklings.
Enjoy the “before” and the “after” shots!
Spring Tulips
Once upon a time, there was a little princess who loved flowers….
Spring Flowers 2020
I enjoy looking for spring flowers every year. I have a few favorites that I would love to put in my yard, like pink or purple Hepatica, Starflowers, Glory of the Snow, or bleeding hearts (which come out later). But there is a lot of work to be done before they will grow well in our garden.

The Hair Cut
Adrian really needed a haircut, so Audrey offered to do it for him.
“Dinner’s Ready”
While waiting for everyone to settle down for dinner, the sun was shining in our window just perfectly to show off the steam of our soup.
