Spring. Chickens.


It rained on and off all day today, the kind of soft, warm showers that make it seem like the flowers are stretching up to catch a drink. We stayed mostly inside, playing and eating soup. When the clouds would break, we'd go out to enjoy some of our favorite spring activities: splashing in puddles and making mud pies. Here are some of our other favorite things about this spring:

1. Chickens. We are now the proud owners of four chickens. Live ones! We're raising them in a coop in our back yard and are currently accepting name suggestions and pre-orders on fresh eggs from the Berberick Family Farm.

2. Swinging!



3. Hunting for Easter eggs.





4. Eating popsicles (yum!).


5. Being silly.




6. Taking time to smell the roses.

Who's Counting?

Avery: "Mama, how old are you?"
Me: "34."
Avery: "Wow...that's a big number ... You're old. But you're still not as old as daddy."
Voice Inside My Head: "Dang right, sweetie."

Big Day for Our Little Girl

Chloe's first day of preschool today! "I so excited! I so excited!" she kept saying as she bounced down the walkway to her new classroom. Us too, honey. Us too.
