Enjoying the fine weather

We have been spending a lot of time outside this past week.

And both kids absolutely love it!

Lucy has just started sucking on any combination of fingers that she can possibly fit in her mouth and it is rarely just the thumb alone. It looks pretty ridiculous.

Bike Riding!

The newest of Philip's achievements is his ability to ride a bike. He absolutely loves it! There are still a few minor details like braking that he needs to learn but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. And I think that he just looks too darn cute while cruising down the sidewalk!

Our garden

We are very excited to have started a little garden this year. There are grape tomatoes, hungarian hot peppers, parsley, chives, carrots, rosemary, thyme, and basil. Philip really loves to water the plants and can't wait to pick his tomatoes when they are ready! I will post some more pictures as the produce grows ripe.

Here are a few more of the pictures that we took while in Ottawa.

Congratulations to Lindsay and Nick!

Playing in the dirt.

Reading with Grandma.

A quick photo moment with their great-grandfather.

It was a fun afternoon playing in the water and talking with Tato.

Playtime with Gracie

We just had a great visit in Ottawa. Here are a few pictures from our playtime with Gracie.

Philip and Gracie did find the baby powder one afternoon and managed to get it everywhere!

They promptly took a bath.

I really like this picture! Philip looks crazed, Gracie is squashed, and Lucy looks terrified.

Smiles!

It is so rewarding when your baby begins to smile. And Lucy was definitely playing along so that I could share some with you. I hope that you like the video!

Trip to the Bog

We needed an outing one afternoon and decided to check out the local Bog. It was so neat! We were a little nervous that Philip might fall of the boardwalk but he did very well.

We can't wait to go again!
