Time to Garden

Spring is here!!!

So glad to know that warm weather is on the way! A couple of weekends ago, my husband and daughter finished putting together my raised garden beds. I am just so happy with how they turned out...and I cannot wait to get some yummy veggies and pretty flowers planted!

Of course, Sophia was so anxious to help daddy out! She helped shovel dirt and make the beds nice and pretty. She loves getting in her boots and trodding around in the dirt. She feels so important and loves to help!

Below are some pictures of her wonderful garden building skills! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do...our girl is just the best!

First Haircut and fun with BFF!

So, I finally bit the bullet and cut Sophia's bangs! Now, let me just say that I am NOT a skilled hair cutter. I have never done it, except to my own hair - which I screwed up - and my husband's eyebrows, which I shaved one a little too close! However, her hair kept getting her face, so I just had to do it! It was a struggle, at first. There was much crying - no, not by me but by Sophia - and it took about 5 tries to get them even. By the 5th cutting, she was ok and it turned out pretty decently, if I do say so myself!

The instant change in her appearance kind of caught me off guard! She went from looking like a baby to a little girl! It was so wonderful to see her pretty face and I just can't get over how different she looks now! When it comes to the BIG cutting, I will be leaving that to the professionals, for sure!

We also spent the first WARM day this year with our good friend, the McEllraths. They are Sophia's Godparents and their oldest daughter, Kendall, is Sophia's BFF!! They have such fun when they play together...it's just so neat to know that they will grow up together and always have each other! "Uncle" Josh took the girls for a ride in Sophia's wagon and "Auntie" Debbie got some great pics!

Hope you all are enjoying Spring! We are back in a rain pattern, but looking foward to warmer days ahead!
