Moving on

A couple weeks ago Lacey and I finally decided to start looking for a new home. Part of the process, of course, is selling the home we already have, and that is what has been consuming our lives of late.

This afternoon during some down-time we were playing in the garage when it started to sprinkle. Madeline enjoyed being outside and getting wet, holding her hands aloft and looking around in wonderment at the water falling from the sky.

Little gardener

For Mother's Day, Madeline and I bought Lacey a selection of herbs and flowers and we spent the afternoon planting them in pots in the backyard. Madeline enjoys putting on her gardening hat and playing in the dirt with her very own hoe and spade.

She also makes quite a mess as she digs her fingers through the soil and slings it about. She got so dirty that we took her to the front yard and turned on the sprinkler - she got soaked but she loved it (and it was much easier than trying to rinse her arms and hands in the sink inside).

Rainy days

There hasn't been much to do outdoors recently, since it's been raining almost constantly for many days. Madeline has enjoyed watching the rain and mimicking the thunder from the dry confines of the front porch. She also likes putting her hand under the streams of water running off the roof above.
