Things

• The squirrels helped themselves to our bird feeders and one by one they all fell to the ground. I did see some birds nibbling on them though, so I was happy the squirrels didn’t hog it all!

• Dakota loves to play with this activity cube these days. She likes to open and close the little doors, and play with the beads on the top part.

• Zoe and I took the two babies to the mall one day last week. We mostly went just to get out of the house and to let Harper blow off some steam in the play area.

• Zoe is a ton of help with the babies when she’s here. I think her favorite thing to do is read to Harper before nap time…and it sure make nap time easier for me when I only have to deal with one baby at a time! (And, Harper LOVES the attention from his big sister!)

• We had some decent weather this week. Not exactly warm, but not freezing either. Spring is somewhere out there…

• Zoe had two papers to write and one book to read while on break. She still reads while listening to music. My brain just isn’t able to do that.

• One day last week we were sitting in the library when I saw Tony’s car pull up. Both babies were watching him walk up to the house, but when he took too long, Dakota found Harper more interesting.

• Since the weather was decent, Landon was sweet and took Harper out to jump on the trampoline a little bit.

• Every time I tell Harper I’m going to make something to eat, he drags a chair over to the stove area to help. He loves to watch me crack the eggs and he always says “Hey! The eggs are yellow!” Every time.

• Zoe and Brandon needed something to keep them busy so I suggested they make cookies. They did, and they were delicious. I love having the two of them around.

• Harper and Dakota playing one morning. I love when they play together like that.

• I love when this big brother reads to this little brother too. Landon doesn’t love to read the way Harper and Zoe do, so it’s really something when he’ll stop what he’s doing when Harper asks him to read to him.

• Harper sitting at the table having lunch. He looks like such a little baby to me in this photo. He is a baby really, just don’t tell him that. He says he’s a big boy.

• Zoe helped me feed Dakota her lunch. Dakota wasn’t sure what to think about it.
