May 2010

May was a busy month around here. Kari had her bridal shower in Pittsburgh that we went in for. It was beautiful and she got all kinds of great gifts. Ella was a big help with opening her gifts! She is also starting to write her letters and wrote Kari's name on the card. She was so proud of herself!



Avery in her crib one morning. She is pulling herself up in her crib all of the time now. Her monogram is in the background (I know it says "ask") :)


Then on Mother's Day, Rob surprised me by getting plants to start a little garden in the backyard. We now have tomatoes, strawberries, cantaloupe, squash, and peppers. Its something that Ella and have have really enjoyed this summer. She is fascinated by watering the plants and watching them grow. The girls just sat and ate crackers while daddy dug in the dirt.




We also went to a little festival downtown - there was a little band playing, vendors, food and a petting zoo. I loved this funny llama :)





I also took the girls out for the yearly spring photo shoot. They were cooperative for all of about 14 minutes :) oh well! There were a few cute ones to pick from. It's harder with two - one is always looking somewhere else, crying, moving, etc. They should be used to having a camera in their face all of the time. hehe!







Ella has really enjoyed being outside this summer. She is a little tomboy and rolls around in the grass, and has more bruises on her legs than I have had in my whole life! She loves the sprinkler, and spraying you! Apparently she likes not wearing a shirt too. Who knows? She is a mess :)
