Growing

Our week of spring break has been a time of much growth. Our darling Calico took her first steps! She is just shy of 14 months. With all the children, this may have been the first time that Ethan and I were able to witness it together. And speaking of things growing up, we're starting our very first garden! We started an indoor greenhouse with carrots, tomatoes, pumpkins, and spinach. The entire family has been enjoying watching the seeds break out of the soil.

The girls discovered my juicer on the shelf and wanted to give it a try. Now they want to juice everything. I told Giggles we could juice a chicken and her eyes got AWFULLY big. Poor girl halfway believed me. Funny story, when we were first married my favorite kitchen gadget was my juicer; Ethan's favorite was his deep fryer. (This just perfectly represents our eating preferences in a nutshell, by the way.)

One night while putting Calico to bed she was really having a rough time of it. Giggles offered to read her a story and it's become a little routine they share. I l.o.v.e it! Sweet sister time.
