Easter Sunday [part 2]


Walking out with Grandma to check on the bird houses.

eggs or babies?

Eggs.

Aurora and I together on Easter Sunday

Aurora didn't want to take any more photos, but I wanted just one more, so we all made the grumpy face for this one. I think that this may be this year's Christmas card!

After the grumpy faces we had a nice chuckle, and it made for a great photo.  
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well! 

Easter Sunday [part 1]

The Easter Bunny made a stop at our house last night. He left a basket and bowl of goodies For Aurora, but NO EGGS!? Instead he left a note....

goodies!
 Aurora jumped straight out of bed to see what the Easter Bunny had left for you, she was so surprised!
We read the Letter together, and got dressed for the hunt!


Going on an Egg Hunt!
 Aurora was very good at finding the eggs! they were every where, in the garden, in the flower parts, in the yard. What a clever and sneaky bunny!


Counting the eggs


After the hunt we snapped a few photos, she's so proud of her basket full of eggs.


Happy Easter from us to you!

After posting the photos for Wednesday Wardrobe (which I now must admit was actually Thursday Wardrobe) Aurora completed the outfit with the finest shoes around......

Wednesday Wardrobe

Little details

  This week's Wednesday Wardrobe is a simple one. Aurora picked a yellow sundress, and the pink and yellow crocheted flower for her hair.

Baby Zach @ 10 months old

A smile to steal your heart away

At Nana's house there is an amazing back yard, like being in the forest, only right by the house! Aurora had every one outside playing games on the rocks.....

Cousins
What a lovely weekend we had visiting with Family in Georgia! Aurora and Baby Zach got along really well, Aurora shared her toys, and he didn't even try to teethe on her! Aurora has been talking about him ever since. It was great to get the chance to see her Uncle Zach and Auntie Crystal again too, they have always been so far away it made visits difficult.
   
Cheese!  

Georgia Peach - Southern Belle


 The loudest chirping I have ever heard in the night came from this tiny little fella (and countless numbers of his friends) This frog was only about 1 inch long from nose to butt, but chirped so loud it made our ears ring.

Aurora was so curious about that noise that she got Nana and me to go out and hunt them down to find out what made such a loud sound. So with her Binoculars and Flash light in hand we went out back and hunted for the source of the chirping.

you have to be very quiet when you look into bird houses, so you don't scare the mommy bird too much.
 We also got to check on Nana's bird house, there is a nest and 6 tiny eggs.




 Aurora and Nana searching the yard for Squirrels, Chipmunks, birds, lizards, and those LOUD frogs! What an adventure!


Later in the afternoon we went to downtown Marietta and played at the square. Aurora made fast friends with the other children playing on the mock train. We walked around and enjoyed to flowers, threw money into the fountain and then were off to see Great-great-(great) Aunt KatieBelle.
