Easter Weekend!

 One Saturday, our neighborhood had a kid's activity day at the park.  There were bubbles, snow cones, volleyball, hula hoops, and of course, swings!
 Lillian looks on as the 'big kids' play volleyball.  I wonder if she's thinking, "I bet I could be good at that game..."  She would be right!  It runs in the family :)
 Lillian loves anything with wheels! Oh boy, prelude to what's to come...
 This was pretty funny.  From this picture, it looks like two girls sharing a big wheel, right?  What you don't know is that once Klaudia reached for the bike, Lillian became VERY possessive of it (a normal reaction of most 20 month olds), which started a sort of tug-of-war... 
 Easter Sunday, we visited the Club House where Lillian received a lady bug balloon from the IYQ (I like you) clown )!
 We took a walk up to the gazebo to see the sights!

Fun Times!

 We spent the afternoon at Frank Rains Park, so by the time we got home, the kids were pretty tired.  Lillian covered herself up with my jacket and relaxed on the couch.
 James was pretty fussy, because he was super exhausted... nothing a quick swaddle couldn't cure!
 That evening, we went on a walk.  Lillian independently walked several paces behind and looked at flowers and rocks.
 The walk didn't tire them out... in fact, I think it only invigorated them!  It didn't take long before they were hugging and goofing off again!

 Taking a break with a cold one!

 Ready for bed!
 Hugs!
Brother and sisterly love!

Thursday Morning!

 The kids started the day right with a fun & educational episode of Sesame Street!
James takes in the view during a walk we went on to see the sights and pick more wild flowers for Lillian's flower press.  
 One of the views!
 Lillian enjoyed throwing rocks and watching them roll down the hill!
 Hi!
 "Wow!  That one went far!!
 Handing mommy a flower!
 "Is this a flower?" Nope, but it sure is a pretty piece of cattail :)
 Lupin!  My favorite!
 Lillian in her contemplative gate!
 He-he-he!!!
 We ran into our friend, Blanca, while on our adventure!
Where was James?  Peacefully asleep in the stroller :)

Smile!

Bath Time Smiles!










How Sweet It Is!


 After her morning shower, Lillian escaped, ran into the living room, climbed on top of her kitchen and tried to turn on the T.V.  She was successful!
 The other morning, I asked Lillian, "Do you want to hold your brother?"  She quickly said, "Yeah!"  Once I placed him next to her, Lillian lovingly held him close :)

Smiles :)
 
"I love my sister!"
 Giving you the 'eye'
 We were putting James in the jumping chair when he was 2.5 months old.  He was already able to hold his head up and could easily touch the ground!
 "I'm so proud of you, James!" -Lillian
