Easter/Spring

We had a lovely Easter Day with family, including cousins from England--the token photo--I love it when she plays with my hair.

Rainey with her twin cousins, just before the meal. They are so stinkin' cute.

The fabulous Easter meal. Rainey felt so big sitting at the kids' table with her cousins. As you can see, she's very aware of the food she dropped on the floor--that was just the beginning. We're still all about the high chair.

With the change in weather, our attention has turned to the yard--we've got some serious yard work ahead of us. But it's so nice to spend time outside. I LOVE the tulips and daffodils. I wish they lasted longer. One morning, Kevin mowed the lawn with Rainey--she loved the beginning of the ride until she put her fingers in her ears and said "loud." She then helped me with branches, sticks, and pinecone duty.

Just had to show Kev being a good sport. We watched cousins for a night and we went to this place that had indoor rides. Rainey was in heaven, especially as each cousin took her on the various rides. For Susie's turn, Kev had to go with them. Both of us are wimps when it comes to spinning rides. Poor Kev was a bit queasy after this one. (This was before the ride began)

Rainey loves to sit in laps--mine, her "moo", a random wooden bear, and Sophie  (her younger cousin). Here, she's sitting in Sophie's lap with Claire behind them both. love it.

This video captures the top two words for the month--my favorite: graham cracker & Kevin's favorite: baby powder.
