I'd probably go out and jump in muddy puddles.-Peppa Pig seems to be quoted a lot in our home by our three-year-old. I can't help but smile. This weekend we adventured out and did a bit of shopping.

I'm sure she knows just how much I love her and I want her to realize even when mommy is busy my love will never change for her.   With the warm weather, we have been spending our time outdoors. Activities take place on the back porch and there's been a lot of water play in the pool.  Our back porch seems to be the place for coloring and outdoor play for our daughter. -And possible naps for mom. :) I've been happy and enjoying life. Next week I'll be 24 weeks along in this pregnancy. We scheduled two hospital tours, so there's some progress being made. ...

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.” ♡ ―  Audrey Hepburn ♡ This day we're all together and enjoying the fresh air.  A packed lunch and some play time at the park.  Squirrels come by for a visit.  In the background, our daughter is giggling and running around.   There's a light breeze and the sun is out.  We're all together just enjoying a beautiful Spring day.  Something about this moment makes me realize just how thankful I am for a new day spent with my family. 

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”  ―  Albert Einstein Lately...things seem to have fallen into place. Everyone is smiling, preparing for the baby, and enjoying our time living in the now. Life is truly beautiful, and we're all thankful. Lately, things have been peaceful.

Out on the back porch enjoying the chirps of the little birdies, sprinklers on, and the smell of freshly cut grass.-I'm daydreaming about mid-summer. Lately, our daughter has enjoyed her time being hands-on. She enjoys splashing in the sink and helping me with dishes. -Even if it's pretend play, she's definitely my little helper. She reminds me, "Mommy, are you drinking your water"? -"Of course, I am baby. I do appreciate you looking out for your siste...
