New Blog

Please check out my new blog, Our Acres of Blessings.  It is not made to replace this one, as this one will remain a private, family blog.  The new one is to help show our life as farmers in rural america and some of our concerns and joys.  I haven't put any links yet on my new blog, but if you have a blog you wouldn't mind listed on it (it will be public and searchable) just leave a comment and I will work on that.  Its still a work in progress, but I am excited on where it is going.

Bumbo Fun

So Daphne has gotten really strong holding up her neck, so we thought it was time to try out the bumbo.  Plus it would be another way for her to sit because she can't be laid down for almost an hour after eating or she will spit-up, unless she is sleeping.  And Eve gave her her two friends Flip and Sadie to help keep Daphne company in the bumbo.  With the boppy as a little extra neck support, she liked sitting in there.

Eve helped capture all the action with her camera as well.  She is hoping for one that really works for her birthday.

Well the fun couldn't last forever.

Easter Pics

Here are some of the fun pictures from our Easter.

Egg Hunts

Eve has been such a lucky girl when it comes to Easter Egg Hunts this year.  She has hunted for eggs five times already, not including the hundreds of time we have hidden them and found them around the house.  On Wed, we took her down to the county courthouse for the community egg hunt and yesturday we took her to the long term care to hunt eggs in front of the older people, including her great aunt Viola.  She had a great time at both hunts, but love the ltc one better because there was a lot less kids and people and she got lots of eggs.

Here is how Daphne spent the egg hunts.

Every girl needs a malted milk-ball lipstick.

Photoshoot Attempt

While my mom was here, we attempted to take some professional like pictures of Daphne since we are not planning on getting any take right now. I definitly do not have a photographer's eye for a good shot or really any editing skills either, but some of them turned out ok.

Matching Outfits

Before Daphne was born, Eve really wanted them to have some matching outfits. It turned out to be a challenge to find a 2T for Eve and newborn size for Daphne in the same outfit, but we finally found them at Sams. So once the weather got warm enough for short sleeves around the house we put them on and I think they looked so cute. I hope the weather gets nice soon so they can wear them again because Daphne is quickly growing out of hers.

Chef Eve

One of Eve's favorite things to do is to help me cook. She loves tasting all the ingredients (everything from crisco to pepper) and pulls her helping stool all over the kitchen to be close to the action. For Christmas, I made her her own apron so she could be close to the cooking without getting too messy. I know her favorite thing about cooking must be to lick the bowl.
