pee

Chloe peed on her tiny little potty today after telling Britton she wanted to go. It was amazing.

Easter

Alleluia!

We celebrated Easter with an amazing outdoor brunch!
My dream (strange though it may be) of eating a meal on our lawn became reality!





We spent the afternoon at the park flying kites.
That's my man! What a kite flyin' stud.

Chloe's personal fav was a little game called "Run into the ball at top speed and fall down"

Poor Chlo-ster dislocated her elbow at the park... but it was a quick fix by the doctor and she was back to her old self in no time! It was as if she was never hurt at all. She's such a brave little muffin.

spring has sprung

Enjoy the extra chunky thighs... we do.



We've been trying to train chloe to smile by saying, "Show us your teeth."
This is what we get in return.

Dallas

In March Chloe and I visited friends and family in Dallas. It was a total blast... I miss it there!

We stayed with our loving friends and our handsome godson!


He and Chloe really loved one another... there were many kisses and hugs to be had through the week!

And we worked on brainwashing them to attend UD when they get older by taking them to Music on the Mall where they danced and danced.


Friends hosted a lovely brunch for us where we got to spend some quality time with Uncle Paul and Uncle Blake.

And we snuck in some Kindermusik and a petting zoo at the Arboretum.


An utterly LOVELY time.

I'm trying to figure out

When this

became this

and how quickly she is growing up

Our new floor sweeper

Note some of Chloe's favorite words "hep" (help), "dis" (this) and "mo" (more) she also puts her hands or fingers together to mean "more please"!

Spring is near

All week we've been teased with thoughts of Spring!
It's getting increasingly harder for me to get Chloe in the stroller for a long walk. She prefers pushing her baby doll up and down the block we live on... not much activity for me, but it wears her out!

Short sleeves, even when inside, are a big treat!

I realize that I'm virtually never in photos anymore so I set our camera's timer for this shot...it was too bright out to get a decent image.
