Mr. and Miss Bones

Lucy has been obsessed with her bones pajamas for at least a year and a half now. I think they are size 18 months, but she can still kind of fit in them. She was so excited to see Samuel in his matching bones pajamas this morning.

Dande Lions

This is the second year we did this project and it was even better! Last year, my sister sent me a reel to take cardboard and cut it into a circle and draw a face in the middle. I used a pencil to poke holes around the face for the dandelions.

This year, Lucy was able to pick the dandelions on her own and Aaron picked more than the two he did last year and Samuel was hanging out in the front pack.

After they finished picking dandelions, we went exploring around the two ponds. A neighbor said there was a turtle nearby. We didn't see it, but we enjoyed looking for it. 

Lately, Lucy insists on wearing her suede boots. It doesn't matter that it's almost always hot outside. She's so cute and it reminds me of wearing my brother's old cowboy boots so I am fine with it.

These two were so much smaller last year!

A Very Happy Father's Day

"I’m so glad when Daddy comes home, Glad as I can be; Clap my hands and shout for joy, Then climb upon his knee, Put my arms around his neck, Hug him tight like this, Pat his cheeks, then give him what? A great big kiss."

Children's Songbook song #210 Daddy’s Homecoming

When Jonathan comes home, it usually involves a lot of happy screams. To say we love him, is an understatement. Aaron and Lucy and now Samuel love him and always want to be with him. I knew I chose a good man to father my babies.

I also love that he got me a minivan to hold all of those babies.

To say we adore Samuel, is an understatement!

Three Months Later

It's hard to believe that our baby is already three months old.

It's safe to say that Samuel's definitely the favorite around here.

Aaron loves our baby and Lucy is certain he is her baby.

I love his bright blue eyes and hope that he keeps them. Neither of the other kids ever had the least bit of blue. They were so dark that it took me a long time to realize they were brown.
