This lilac bush is right outside my kitchen window...they have SUCH a delightful fragrance.

Avery all dolled up. She was also carting around a purse and a bear for most of the day. She still really likes to have something in her hands most of the time.


The girls got to go to the park several times this week.

Sisters.

Avery knows how to blow a bubble with her gum now....our little Avery is getting so big...ha!

Although our front porch is in disrepair, we still really enjoy being out there and the girls have started requesting to eat lunch out.

I have a new nephew!! My sister Bethany started the process of adopting with paperwork in January. This week they were officially approved and they got a call on the 14th that a baby had been born that morning and they could drive a couple states over the following day to meet and hold him.
This is Levi Allan and we are SO thrilled to be able to add him to our family. We're very anxious to meet him! Their adoption story is incredible if you have a couple minutes to check it out. (She's got more pictures of his sweet little face, too.)

We took advantage of a free Saturday with nice weather and worked in the flower beds. These two girls have very long attention spans and are hard workers. It was a blessing having them work beside me...we all had fun.
Sara has her project up and links to lots of others.
