The girls had a lot of fun outside today. It was 72 degrees here this afternoon. What a gift in the middle of February to be able to play outside without jackets and mittens on. Both girls are really enjoying the slides that we set up against the terraces in the garden. We're looking forward to adding a swing set and climbing structure later this spring.
Ellie follows Lauren every where...
Lauren had gymnastics today - and was still wearing her name tag this afternoon.
She loves to play this games she calls "ringing up the steps," where she climbs up the outside of the stairs.
Ellie loves to climb up the stairs in the garden and then go down the slide. She also really enjoyed playing in the dirt and putting rocks down the slide. She is able to walk in the grass now too.
Here's a picture of the house from the back. I pruned the Crepe Myrtle today and raked leaves out of the flower beds. The tops of little green daffodil shoots are now visible all over the garden!
Here's Ellie learning to negotiate the hill... at least it's a soft landing!

much love, my son in San Diego. Cute little girls.
Aww, I miss babysitting Lauren! She's gotten so tall! :o)
The weather there is so much better than here. It's 14 degrees today. Ellie is changing so much.
