Smiley Healthy Lucy

And....we're back! Life is finally getting back to "normal" around here...with lots of giggles, jumping, and fun.

This photo makes me smile because it captures my girls doing the things they love the most right now. Lucy is opening my wallet to take out all the cards and then put them back in. Bella is dashing about and "protecting" the house with her amazing sword a la She-Ra.

And more She-Ra action. Every time I see this sword, I think of the amazing time we had at Hill Shade. Our friend Chris made this sword...all the kids had them while we were there. I can't believe it's already been a year since we spent that time there...so many sweet memories.

I always look forward to this moment in the day (ok, ok...the mate happens several times a day). I'm thinking I should probably start beekeeping soon...we go through so much honey!

Park Time Sun

We ended our day with a trip to the park...with big sisters giving underdogs and mama hoopin' it up.

Community Hooping

The past couple of days we've taken our music and hoops with us and it's so fun to watch the community spirit grow...just by throwing down a bunch of colorful plastic. We've even convinced a 52-year-old ex-gang member to give it a whirl with his grandkids :) I can't wait until it's even warmer so we can just stay there all day!
