Sunny Afternoon


Sunny days have been few and far between the past few weeks. In fact, we have had some snow/freezing precipitation almost every day. When one nice day came along, we hopped on the opportunity to be outside for several hours and it was the best, most drama-free afternoon we had had in a long time.  The girls both found playmates and wore themselves out!

Since the last time we were able to spend this much time in the park, Janie was quite a bit younger(was not walking), she had a few new experiences.  The first was learning to get her footing on the playground bark, and the second was a fun experience with sidewalk chalk.  She made a few "designs" but seemed to have the most fun taking the chalk in and out of the basket and doling it out to various kids in the park.  It was super cute to watch her share and initiate interaction with other children.  In that way, she is already a very giving and kind child.


Clara was so thrilled to meet up with some friends her age at the park.  Her pal Olivia and a new friend Ava ran playing imaginary games until they had to leave and a new group of neighbor kids arrived.

Clara was having so much fun it was hard to tear her away from her play to even get a shot of her looking at the camera.  One of things I love most about this kid is her imagination and her ability to turn an item like this little bug net into hours of play. 


It was a great thing that we made it out on this day because the girls both ate a ample dinner and got a good night sleep.  It rained the next day, but has us all looking forward to spring!
