Flower/Garden

It has been quite beautiful here the last week or so...everything is blooming. Rather than simply take pictures of the flowers themselves, I took the opportunity to get some cute pictures of Kendall too.

Even little people need to take time to stop and smell the roses!

Here she is picking flowers (or dandelions) in the yard for daddy. Her vocabulary is really getting better...she has added flower, ball, apple, uh-oh, and shoe to the list of words she can say. She can also point out a lot more things when asked...foot, bunny, socks, balloons, etc.

She also LOVES water. She runs to the tub when you say "bath" and even likes to interrupt my showers. She has also discovered the hose and can spend hours hanging out in the yard.

Here are a few shots of "girls night." We all went out to celebrate Megan's new baby...best baby shower ever!

We had a really nice dinner at a sushi restaurant downtown followed by some drinks.

Today we spent the afternoon planting the garden. We doubled the size of the garden this year. We got cucumbers, corn, radishes, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, beans, squash, peas, basil, onions, and more...some plants, some seed packets. It will be interesting to see what grows.

Kendall had a great time helping out.

Asheville, NC

My new bike...on the way to the farmers market to pick up some fruit and veggies.

On Wednesday I headed to Asheville, NC for a work conference at the Grove Park Inn. Aaron and Kendall joined me on Wednesday night and after the conference on Friday we spent some time in downtown Asheville. It was cold...much colder than we were prepared for, and it isn't the most kid friendly city - but, it is a great city.

Love this picture of Kendall chasing the leaf.

Here is Kendall at the Western North Carolina Nature Center. She and Daddy spent some time there hanging out on Thursday while I was at the conference.

Here she is staring down the wolf. Aaron said that according to Kendall everything was a "doggy."

She had a great time until the rain came.

We headed home on Friday night and were all glad to be back in our own beds.

Catch Up

So it has been awhile, so this will be a bit of catch up... Aaron went home for the first part of Spring break to visit with family and friends and hold the fantasy baseball draft. He left Saturday and returned Wednesday...so it was just us girls for Easter weekend.

On Saturday we headed to Charlotte, NC to pick up a new bike for me. I love it.

Above are Aunt Erin and Kendall outside church in downtown Columbia on Easter Sunday.

So cute.

We got a care package from Gma Rose and Gpa Bob which included this bunny outfit that cousin Maria first wore...some 10 years ago. Maria wore it well...Kendall didn't much like it.

Here she is opening the care package and petting her bunny.
