After a challenging couple days at work, spending today with these cuties was awesome!!!
First Outing. Oz Park for lunch.
Oz was chosen since it is a 5-min walk from our house, of course!
Elliott was loved hanging out on the blanket in the shade, so we are definitely going to do a lot more of this! He was all smiles.
We ran into a friend from preschool! For awhile, she was busy taking family pictures, which resulted in nearly 10 minutes of Natalie crying loudly, but thankfully, her Daddy let her stay after for some great kickball time.
See you tomorrow, Mischa!
During Natalie’s nap
I love my sister, but its also nice to have mommy’s undivided attention! (Well, let’s be honest… Mom was still checking her phone a lot due to work stuff. Sorry!!)
Second outing : Bauler Park with Taylor and Hailey
Hamming it up again!
Hailey, you are wiggly… and a very proficient back-to-front roller. Do it again!
Natalie said “hi” to Hailey (the youngest) when playing…. Taylor was quick to say, “she’s my sister.” Natalie responded, “I was just saying HI.” That seemed to satisfy Taylor. 🙂
At dinner tonight, Natalie also agreed to eat her chicken so that she will “grow faster”. Every morning, she tells me how she is growing up – usually because she doesn’t want to sit in her booster seat. I always think, “I know – and I don’t need you to remind me!” I am really just trying to enjoy every age and every day. Easier said than done.
